Homicide: Life on the Street finally gets a streaming date

As a dedicated gamer and avid TV fan from the ’90s, I can still remember the excitement that surrounded “Homicide: Life on the Street.” Every week, my friends and I would gather around our CRT TVs to watch this gritty Baltimore crime drama unfold. The show’s raw realism and complex characters captivated us, making it a must-watch for anyone who valued compelling storytelling.


In the 1990s, a crime drama ruled television screens, captivating audiences everywhere. This engaging series was named “Homicide: Life on the Street.” Despite its enduring popularity, viewers were puzzled as to why they couldn’t watch it online.

When NBCUniversal launched its streaming service, Peacock, there was an opportunity to include the ’90s series among the popular streaming options. However, this did not come to pass, and it later emerged that this was not merely a tactical move to boost sales of DVDs.

In the beginning, streaming was just an unrealized concept when the show was produced. Consequently, the agreements didn’t include terms for later broadcasts on streaming services. To make it available online, we had to secure new licenses for the featured music.

It surprised many how lengthy the process turned out to be. For the entire cast of “Homicide: Life on the Street” to be included, contracts needed to be drawn up first. Some artists demanded more than others, leading to further delays. However, the show’s determination to maintain the original music made it all worthwhile in the end.

Homicide: Life on the Street heading to Peacock in August

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you all as a big fan! Peacock has announced that they will be the streaming platform for the iconic series “Homicide: Life on the Street.” And get this – starting from Monday, August 19th, we can start streaming it! According to TVLine, that’s when it will be available. Can’t wait to rewatch some of my favorite episodes!

As a long-time fan of this particular show, I can’t contain my excitement to share some fantastic news with you all! You see, I remember watching the original episodes in lower quality back in the day, wishing I could savor every detail in higher definition. And now, my dear friends, that dream is about to come true! I’m thrilled to announce that every single season, including the seven glorious ones and the wrap-up movie, will be available for us to watch in HD and 4K! This isn’t just a small upgrade; it’s a whole new viewing experience. I can hardly wait to immerse myself once more into this captivating world, now brighter, clearer, and more vivid than ever before!

The series is only available for streaming in the United States at this time. It’s undecided when or if it will be distributed globally through various platforms, as Peacock has not expanded internationally yet.
