After scaring up $56 million in theaters worldwide, the Idris Elba-starring creature feature Beast is next headed to the Peacock streaming service, we’ve learned this morning.
Beast, which you can currently rent or buy on VOD, claws into Peacock on October 7!
Peacock will be the Exclusive streaming home for the 2022 film.
Beast is the latest addition to Peacock’s growing library of iconic films, including Jurassic World Dominion, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Vengeance, Brian and Charles, The Black Phone, The Bad Guys, Downton Abbey: A New Era, and The Northman.
In Beast, “A recently widowed man (Idris Elba) and his two teenage daughters travel to a game reserve in South Africa. However, their journey of healing soon turns into a fight for survival when a bloodthirsty lion starts to stalk them.”
Baltasar Kormákur (Everest, Adrift) directed Beast for Universal Pictures. Based on an idea by Jaime Primak-Sullivan, Ryan Engle (Rampage) wrote the script.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her 3-star review for Bloody Disgusting (read it here), “Beast may not bite as hard as it’d like, but it’s entertaining enough while it lasts.”
