Get ready to hand over more of your dollars—NBCUniversal has announced their own streaming platform! Named Peacock after their iconic logo, the service will feature new original dramas including a Battlestar Galactica reboot from Sam Esmail, and a Brave New World adaptation featuring Demi Moore. There’s even a Saved By the Bell reboot in the works! And, of course, you’ll be able to stream all your old faves like 30 Rock, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Parks and Rec.
