But besides the new originals to be produced, what will actually sharpen the streaming war will be the pile of popular shows whose rights will be taken back by NBCUniversal: in addition to The Office, other shows set to stream on the service include Parks and Recreation, Bates Motel, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Downton Abbey, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and many others.

Peacock is the latest entry in the streaming battle among some other giants in the industry. Players like WarnerMedia, Disney, Amazon, and Apple have already taken over what was once a solo role for Netflix.
