3 Great Peacock Shows Your Whole Family Can Binge in a Day

by

Choosing a movie or show for family time can be tricky. Peacock has lots of options, but not everything is suitable for all ages. While shows like *Poker Face* and *Twisted Metal* are fun, they might not be appropriate for younger children. And while *Madagascar: A Little Wild* is great, older kids and adults might find 50 episodes a bit much.

These three choices offer a little something for all tastes. Plus, they’re all quick enough to watch in one afternoon.

3) SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night

In 2025, the long-running comedy show *Saturday Night Live* will celebrate its 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion, Peacock will release several specials, including a celebratory show, a concert event, and *Beyond Saturday Night*, a four-part documentary series exploring the show’s history.

The series explores how cast members are chosen, what goes on behind the scenes with the writers, and the groundbreaking eleventh season that dramatically reshaped the show. One episode of *Beyond Saturday Night* is even dedicated to a deep dive into the iconic “More Cowbell” sketch from 2000, lasting a full 49 minutes.

This show isn’t for everyone due to its mature content (it’s TV-MA rated), but if you and your family already watch it together, you’ll probably like seeing how it’s made.

2) Supernatural Academy

I recently checked out *Supernatural Academy* – it only had one season back in 2022, but the good news is all 16 episodes are streaming on Peacock. And honestly, it’s a pretty quick watch; I binged the whole thing in an afternoon!

The story follows Mischa and Jessa, twin siblings who discover each other after sixteen years of being unaware of each other’s existence. Both are werewolves, and Jessa attends a special school populated by other supernatural beings and creatures from mythology.

The show follows Mischa as she learns about the world of the supernatural, discovers her own abilities, and unexpectedly ends up at Supernatural Academy. While the animation is geared towards younger viewers, the show deals with some surprisingly mature themes, though it’s generally not too frightening for children.

1) Baking It

This baking competition began as a holiday-themed addition to Amy Poehler’s show, *Making It*. It follows a similar format to *The Great British Baking Show*, featuring friendly home bakers facing off in challenges. However, instead of individuals, this show features eight teams of two bakers.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of *Baking It* is its judging panel. Instead of famous chefs or celebrities, the show features four outspoken grandmothers. It’s a charming but intimidating dynamic – the bakers are really putting themselves on the line when they try to impress these grandmas!

The baking competition show, *Baking It*, lasted for two seasons with a total of 12 episodes. While the whole series takes a full day to watch, it’s a really enjoyable experience. Just be warned: it will definitely make you crave something sweet, so have plenty of snacks handy – or get baking!
