Don’t Worry, These Shows Will Fill The Olympics-Sized Hole In Your Heart <3 

In partnership with Peacock.

If you spent most of your summer judging the world’s top athletes while sprawled out on your couch licking snack crumbs off your fingers, you’re definitely not alone. You put in weeks of your life studying the ins and outs of handball and learning the rules of water polo (shout out to Flavor Flav). But just as soon as you’d processed that wild opening ceremony, the Olympics was over. And now you’re left wondering what could possibly be more exciting than Simone Biles soaring through the air, Katie Ledecky setting yet another world record, or Ilona Maher literally charging down her competitors on the field.

There’s so much to miss about the games, but don’t worry — we’ve got you covered with The Watchlist, AKA a bunch of amazing shows that will easily fill the Olympics void. The best part? You don’t even need to leave the Peacock app to watch them. So hone your binge-watching skills and take home the gold for couch surfing. Here’s what to watch on Peacock right now:

Love Island USA

A reality show reunion where Ariana Madix has full control of the narrative? We love to see it. (And TBH, we’re lowkey excited for any and all the Rob and PPG content we can get).

Face to Face with Scott Peterson

Some new breaks in this notorious 20-year-old case have Scott Peterson speaking out for the first time from behind bars. With the case reopened and new evidence uncovered, this doc has us asking one major question – is he guilty or innocent?

Baking It

Is it possible to find better hosts than Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, and Amy Poehler? With both Season 1 and Season 2 available, you can enjoy their comedic genius anytime. BRB — we’re microwaving mac and cheese and sitting down to criticize professional chefs through a TV screen.

Paris in Love

An entire series dedicated to Paris Hilton getting married, starting a family, and finally living happily ever after? That’s hot.

The 96 Effect

If you loved watching Team USA women absolutely crush this year’s Olympics, then rewind to 1996 and follow four American women’s teams on their road to the Atlanta games. (And sorry to make you feel old, but yes, this docuseries takes place a full year before Simone Biles was even born).

Casey Anthony: Where The Truth Lies?

You can watch (or hate-watch) this doc for a deeper dive on the chilling and infamous story that made Casey Anthony a household name.
