NBCU's streaming service 'Peacock' announces originals slate, including a Battlestar Galactica reboot

NBCUniversal is sharing a few more details about its new streaming service, due to launch in April 2020, including the service's name and content lineup. In a nod to the NBC logo, the service will be called "Peacock," (yes, really), and will offer subscribers over 15,000 of content, including both film and TV, plus original content. Notably, Peacock will be home to "The Office," which Netflix will lose as a result of NBCU paying $500 million to pull the hit from Netflix when its deal ends in 2021.
