by

A highly-rated zombie film is coming to Peacock soon, just before a remake by James Wan is released. Those who enjoyed the 2016 version won’t have to wait much longer to stream it.

As of February 11th, the zombie horror film Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula (released in 2020 as a standalone sequel) won’t be available to stream on Peacock. It’s currently playing alongside Wes Anderson’s 2023 film, Asteroid City, but there are no immediate plans to add Peninsula to the platform.

The film, directed by Yeon Sang-ho and written by Park Joo-suk, follows a hardworking, divorced father as he travels with his daughter, Su-an (played by Kim Su-an), to Busan for her mother’s birthday. Their trip quickly turns dangerous when a violent zombie outbreak erupts on the train they’re traveling on.

In addition to stars Yoo and Su-an, Train to Busan features Jung Yu-mi as the pregnant Seong-kyeong, Ma Dong-seok as her husband Yoon Sang-hwa, Choi Woo-shik as basketball player Min Yong-guk, Sohee as his girlfriend Kim Jin-hee, and Kim Eui-sung as executive Yon-suk. The movie also includes appearances by Jang Hyuk-jin, Park Myung-sin, Shin Eun-kyung, Choi Gwi-hwa, and Ye Soo-jung.

Released in 2016, Train to Busan was a huge success, earning over $98.5 million at the box office despite a small $8.5 million budget. It also received critical acclaim, with numerous award nominations and a total of ten wins.

Currently, Train to Busan has a remarkably high 95% “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on over 120 reviews from critics. Viewers also love it, giving it an 89% rating (“Popcornmeter”) based on more than 10,000 reviews from verified users.

What the Future Holds for the Train to Busan Franchise

After the hit movie Train to Busan, a sequel was made in the form of the animated prequel Seoul Station. Released in 2016, it earned just over $2 million despite being made with a budget of only $575,000.

Released in 2020, Peninsula follows former soldier Han Jung-seok as he tries to retrieve a truck full of money from a zombie-filled South Korea. While the film earned over $42.7 million despite a $16 million budget, it didn’t receive much positive attention from critics.

In June 2025, director James Wan shared an update on his upcoming film, revealing it’s set in the same universe as the popular movie Train to Busan. Although Warner Bros. has removed the film from its release schedule, Wan emphasized that he’s still dedicated to it as a personal project he’s very passionate about.

Train to Busan will be available for streaming on Peacock beginning Feb. 11.
