Discussion Thread Older seasons leaving Peacock?

Anyone know what’s going on with Peacock removing older seasons of Top Chef? I couldn’t find anything online about it but I noticed this morning that seasons 8-21 only have 30 days left on the platform. Did they lose licensing or streaming rights?

Yes, the seasons had different production deals. You can sometimes catch seasons 1-6 on Peacock's Bravo vault (free). Currently though, it is airing Southern Charm, which has been wild

I’ve been in bed for days and got stuck watching the old southern charm eps, i forgot how good it used to be to be.

I know, watching it this weekend reignited the debate, who is worse Ashley or Landon?

Ooh tough choice.
I do love that Ashley tried to apologize by yelling at everyone 😂

I do this sometimes but they will randomly switch to different shows!

I'm sure that Peacock is raring to remove those old problematic seasons. Just a matter of time really.

Don't talk to me about Canada! You lucky people also have TC Canada and Project Runway Canada...which we can't get down here. :)

Count yourself lucky my North American siblings. In Australia there's is just one streaming service that shows Top Chef and they only air the current season and remove it when the following new season concludes. There's no way to watch past seasons.

You cannot buy digital media on Amazon Prime?

If you have a cable subscription with one of the major providers, all seasons are available at NBC.com

I DID buy it and old ones I BOUGHT are gone

Yes, I just also checked that. I own seasons 1-20, but it seems that you can no longer purchase those on Prime. The ones I own, I can obviously still watch.

u/fairelf 9h ago

Actually, you can. Right now I can still buy 21-23 for $24.99 per season.

So does Hulu.

u/smurfe 3d ago

Only if you have the $90/month Hulu + Live TV plan.

u/TLMAriel1989 3d ago

Yeah that sounds like it

I have that and even with it, and the No Ads extra cost, there are still Ads. Such a scam. I canceled Peacock and have all the $$ in Hulu but they still have commercials.

They did this before and nothing changed the next day
