Four Shrek movies and four Fast and Furious movies will soon be available to stream on Peacock. The popular Paramount Pictures franchises are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, after debuting a month apart in the summer of 2001.

What are the Shrek and Fast and Furious movies coming to Peacock?

Beginning on June 1, 2001’s Shrek, 2004’s Shrek 2, 2007’s Shrek the Third, and 2010’s Shrek Forever After will be available to stream on Peacock. DreamWorks Animation’s beloved fantasy comedy franchise is led by Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas, who are all reprising their respective roles as Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, and Puss in Boots in the highly anticipated Shrek 5 movie. The next installment will arrive in theaters on June 30, 2027.

“Once upon a time, in a faraway swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters,” reads the synopsis for the first installment. “They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad. Determined to save their home, not to mention his, Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess Fiona to be Farquaad’s bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret.”

2001’s The Fast and the Furious, 2003’s 2 Fast 2 Furious, 2006’s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and 2023’s Fast X will also be available to stream on Peacock starting on June 1.

The next sequel, titled Fast Forever, is currently scheduled to debut on March 17, 2028, with Louis Leterrier returning to direct.

“Dominic Toretto enjoys the adrenaline of street car racing, and his fans treat him like a rock star. After a blazing encounter with the ruthless Johnny Tran, Dom decides to take Brian, a newcomer to street racing, under his wing. Dom’s sister Mia sees something she likes in Brian, too. Trouble is, neither of them realizes he’s an undercover cop, and Dominic and his rival Johnny Tran are both the prime suspects in a case involving dirty money and big-rig hijacking,” reads the first movie’s synopsis.
