Peacock has announced that Universal’s summer hit Twisters will debut on the streaming service on November 15, 2024. Twisters is rated PG-13 for intense action and peril, some language and injury images.
Peacock’s exclusive streaming debut comes on the heels of a successful theatrical run for the film. The movie grossed $370.9 million worldwide, with $267.7 million coming from North American theaters and $103.2 million from international markets.
Twisters brings back the blockbuster disaster epic with a whirlwind of heart-stopping action and exhilarating thrills. Ever since a devastating tornado encounter, Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones) gave up chasing storms across the Oklahoma prairie to safely study them on screens in New York City.
Lured back to the field by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) and a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity, Kate crosses paths with Tyler (Glen Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler whose thirst for tornado-tracking adventures made him a social media sensation.
As storm season intensifies with terrifying phenomena unlike anything seen before, Kate and Tyler realize they may need to work together if they are to have any chance of taming and surviving an unprecedented outbreak of destructive tornados.
The cast includes Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, David Corenswet, Maura Tierney, and Sasha Lane.
Universal’s biggest films of the year stream first on Peacock shortly after their theatrical debuts. Subscribers get access to award-winning films and blockbuster favorites from Universal, Illumination, Blumhouse, Focus Features, and DreamWorks Animation.
In 2024, Peacock will debut films, including Oppenheimer, Trolls Band Together, Kung Fu Panda 4, Monkey Man, The Fall Guy, Despicable Me 4, Twisters, and Speak No Evil. The star-studded Wicked will debut on Peacock in 2025.
