We’re right in the middle of summer, and Peacock is keeping things hot with a packed August lineup, though technically, some of these titles fall under July’s slate.
Case in point: “The Phoenician Scheme” landed at the very end of July, but its streaming release was announced so late it’s effectively part of August’s hype. Starring Benicio del Toro, the thriller kicks off a month full of high-stakes drama and espionage.
August also brings the debut of “Borderline,” a dark comedic stalker thriller starring Samara Weaving as a pop star in peril. For reality fans, the “Love Island USA” season 7 reunion drops on August 25, promising to spill all the behind-the-scenes tea from the summer of love, heartbreak and Casa Amor chaos.
Meanwhile, “Twisted Metal” season 2 continues through August with more demolition derby madness. New episodes each week build toward a climactic finale at the end of the month.
Whether you're in the mood for romance, thrills, or complete carnage, Peacock’s August lineup has something for every kind of viewer.
New on Peacock in August 2025: Top picks
‘The Phoenician Scheme’
![THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters May 30 - YouTube](https://img.youtube.com/vi/GEuMnPl2WI4/maxresdefault.jpg)
“The Phoenician Scheme” is a typical Wes Anderson joint that follows ruthless tycoon Anatole “Zsa-zsa” Korda (Benicio del Toro) after he survives his sixth assassination attempt.
Determined to protect his crumbling empire and a wildly ambitious infrastructure project, Korda names his estranged daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton), a nun-in-training, as his heir. Joined by her socially awkward tutor Bjorn (Michael Cera), the trio embarks on a surreal, globe-trotting mission to secure support for Korda’s “Phoenician Scheme.”
Along the way, they encounter eccentric investors and dignitaries played by a star-studded cast including Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Riz Ahmed and Bryan Cranston.

‘Borderline’
“Borderline” is a funny psychological thriller starring Samara Weaving as Dea, a former pop sensation trying to live a quiet, reclusive life in a remote desert home.
Her fragile peace is shattered when a dangerously delusional fan, played by Ray Nicholson, breaks in with a twisted plan: to force Dea into marrying him. Initially a tense hostage situation, the story quickly twists into something far more unusual, with captor and captive roles overlapping.
Written and directed by “Cocaine Bear” scribe Jimmy Warden, the movie is an absolute ride. If you’re into unhinged thrills and laugh-out-loud moments, it’s definitely worth watching. By the time the wedding scene rolls around near the end, your stomach will probably hurt from laughing.

‘Love Island USA’ season 7 reunion
Hosted by Ariana Madix, now joined by reunion master Andy Cohen, the “Love Island USA” season 7 special brings back this summer’s standout Islanders for two hours of reflection, drama, and reconciliation
Filmed in New York City, the reunion reunites season 7’s winners, fan-favorite couples, and bombshells for an unfiltered look at life beyond the Villa. Expect candid conversations about what went down in Fiji, behind-the-scenes tensions (including fallout from the Yulissa and Cierra scandal) and updates on which connections are still going strong.
This special episode is perfect for fans who want to relive the madness and find closure on all those cliffhangers.
