September at Peacock will be defined by both old and new, with several hit shows returning while other all-new titles make their debut. From a steamy reality show to a beloved game show, and even a reboot of one of NBC’s most iconic shows, these series will have you hooked and pressing “next episode.” Here are the five best TV shows streaming on Peacock in September 2025.
5) Brilliant Minds
If you’re in the mood for a medical drama that isn’t Grey’s Anatomy, Peacock has you covered. The Zachary Quinto-led series Brilliant Minds returns for its second season next month, with the Season 2 premiere arriving on Peacock on September 23, 2025, just a day after its network debut. New episodes will continue to release weekly, with all of Season 1 available for fans to rewatch on Peacock ahead of the show’s return. Inspired by the Oliver Sacks books The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars, the new medical drama centers on Dr. Oliver Wolf, a revolutionary neurologist who leads a team of bright young interns in an exploration of the human mind.
Brilliant Minds was a breakout show at NBC when it premiered last year. Centered on the tried and true “case-of-the-week” format, the series drew in over 28 million viewers to become NBC’s most-watched new show of the 2024-25 TV season. The show debuted in a crowded field of other big-name medical dramas but sets itself apart from its competition by delving into the complexities of mental health and the human brain, providing thought-provoking and character-driven stories.
4) Jeopardy!
Test your trivia knowledge with a new season of Jeopardy! For the first time ever, one of the longest-running and most popular game shows will stream brand-new episodes five days a week on Peacock. Jeopardy! Season 42 starts streaming on Peacock beginning September 9, 2025, and new episodes will be available for fans to stream the next day for seven days after their premiere.
For more than six decades, Jeopardy! has had viewers glued to their screens trying to guess the correct answers to trivia topics before the contestants write their answers in. Now one of the longest-running and most-watched game shows in American television history, Jeopardy! is a popular watch for all generations. Season 42 brings Ken Jennings back as host, a role he took over in 2021 following the death of Alex Trebek.
3) Love Island Games
One of the steamiest guilty pleasure shows is heading back to screens in September. Love Island Games returns for Season 2 on Peacock beginning September 16, 2025, with all the drama of Season 1 currently available to stream ahead of the premiere. The series is a spin-off the reality dating series Love Island that features previous Love Island contestants returning to the tropical villa for a second chance at finding love and winning a $100,000 grand prize. The Islanders for Season 2 haven’t yet been announced, but Ariana Madix is back as host alongside Iain Stirling as narrator.
Love Island Games is perhaps the guiltiest TV pleasure you can get. The series combines some of the best elements of reality TV subgenres, including the familiar, addictive drama of dating shows and the competitive, high-stakes nature of competition series. Requiring little investment from the viewer, the show is an easy one to kick back and relax with – and then gossip about with friends.
2) Law & Order: SVU
Detective Olivia Benson is back on the case. Law & Order: SVU returns for its 27th season on NBC and Peacock this September. The long-running series, created by Dick Wolf, centers around Mariska Hargitay’s beloved detective and the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit as they investigate crimes of a sexual nature. Season 27 stars Hargitay, Ice-T, Peter Scanavino, Kevin Kane, and Kelli Giddish and is set to make its way to Peacock on September 26, 2025, with new episodes dropping weekly.
The series is one of the most iconic TV shows of all time and has achieved its record-setting longevity due to its strong cast, compelling and well-written episodes that blend police procedural and courtroom drama, and its groundbreaking approach to sensitive topics. Law & Order: SVU is easily one of the most rewatchable shows, and fans can stream all 26 current seasons on Peacock ahead of the Season 27 premiere.
1) The Paper
More than two decades after The Office wrapped its nine-season run, new life is coming to the legendary mockumentary sitcom. Peacock will debut its anticipated The Office spinoff, The Paper, on September 4, 2025, with all 10 episodes available to stream at that time. From Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, the upcoming series finds the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in The Office shifting focus to a struggling Midwestern newspaper, the Toledo Truth-Teller, and the publisher trying to revive it.
The Paper comes on the heels of The Office, one of the most iconic sitcoms ever. The series was a massive hit throughout its run on NBC and well-loved for its relatable and hilarious characters, unique mockumentary format, and strong character-driven narratives. It remains to be seen if The Paper will live up to the flagship series. The shift in focus to journalism will provide a fresh and more relevant take on the fan-favorite formula, and although most of the cast will be fresh faces, Oscar Nuñez reprises his role as Oscar Martinez.
