Curry Barker's Obsession is coming to Peacock on July 17

The horror movie was a monumental success at the box office, earning $407 million against its $750k budget

Obsession is also available to rent or buy on digital platforms

Just a few days after we reported that Obsession was available to rent or buy at home, we've got our wish for a streaming release date. Thankfully you won't need to break any One Wish Willows to rewatch Obsession , because it will be making its streaming debut on Peacock on July 17.

If you haven't seen Obsession yet, it follows Bear (Michael Johnson) who has a crush on his colleague and friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette). He doesn't have the courage to ask her out, so he buys a novelty wish-granting toy and ends up asking her to "love him more than anything else in the world". Immediate red flag, right?

I'm so excited for Obsession to join the best horror movies streaming in July , and this addition means that horror fans are certainly eating well this month.

Obsession is the most successful horror movie of 2026 so far, outstripping huge titles such as Backrooms and Send Help at the box office. It saw off the competition from more mainstream genres too, beating the likes of The Mandalorian and Grogu . Now, after its $407 million box office success, it will slowly be leaving theaters and arriving on streaming.

Peacock perks

Peacock may not be as big as some of the other best streaming services, but it does have some gems that make it worth checking out. Horror fans should definitely watch Hysteria ! , a series starring Bruce Campbell set at the height of the Satanic Panic. Elsewhere, The Office spin-off series The Paper is a worthy comedy series to watch.

But honestly, it's worth trying out Peacock just so you can watch Obsession . In my glowing 5-star review of the horror movie, I called it "thoroughly entertaining and grabs you by the throat, refusing to let go."

So there we have it, Obsession arrives on July 17 and I'm sure plenty of horror fans will gather to watch it all over again.
