falFans of The Fall Guy can now enjoy the action-packed film from the comfort of their homes... if they're subscribed to Peacock. Released earlier this year, The Fall Guy stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, with Gosling portraying the titular Fall Guy and is inspired by the TV series of the same name from back in the '80s. The Fall Guy did pretty well at the box office, raking in over $175 million worldwide with some positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. While it's been available to buy and rent on demand digitally, it's time for The Fall Guy to join other Universal Pictures films on Peacock.

Both the theatrical version of The Fall Guy and The Fall Guy: The Extended Cut are now available to stream on Peacock starting today, August 30th. The Extended Cut includes an additional 20 minutes of the film not previously seen in theaters. There's also been discussions about a sequel to The Fall Guy. "Oh yeah. We already – I mean, we love these characters so much that we wanted to know, just for ourselves, what happens to Colt and [Emily Blunt's character] Jody after the movie ends? What's the next phase for them? And we know exactly what it is. So hopefully the audience wants to know, too," Gosling told The Fast Company. "The sequel sort of wrote itself. We already know [the story] intimately. We're just hoping that people like this movie enough that we get to keep telling the story of these characters. We love them so much, and we love this world, and I feel confident that we can do it."
