Peacock's TV service has made the entirety of "The Office" available to everyone in an effort to attract new subscribers. Yes, you can enjoy all of Dunder Mifflin's adventures (even the Michael Scott Paper Company crap) without having to spend a dime.
Normally, all but the first two seasons cost at least $4.99 for Peacock Premium paid content. However, until March 24, Peacock is offering everything (except the expanded cut of Superfan)
Of course, this $4.99 per month also includes the usual ads, frustrating fans who encountered the show on Netflix, where it airs without commercials. The good news for fans who watch "The Office" through this trial period is that they will not see ads. Normally, Peacock makes you pay twice as much for the $9.99/month plan to remove ads.
One aspect of The Office's Peacock vault is missing: the Office's "Superfan" extended episodes now expand on the contents of season 3, giving a better look at what's going on.
Admittedly, given the length of the availability, it would be quite difficult to watch the entire 99-hour series in time. But with four days from now and three hours to spare (and lots of coffee), it seems doable, if not downright exhausting.
This offer seems to be one of many ways Peacock is trying to lure people into starting free accounts. The goal is obviously to see if they can show that there is a good enough reason to start or keep a paid account in order to maintain access to "The Office."
The end of this free week of The Office coincides with the 16th anniversary of the series, which premiered on March 24, 2005. To celebrate the show and promote its offerings, Peacock is holding its own Dundies contest, asking people to prove they are fans of the show. The prize? A real Dundies trophy, of course. Not sure about that last paragraph? See Season 2 Episode 1 of The Office for more information.
Recently, Peacock made waves in the live event streaming news by becoming WWE's exclusive streaming service. Currently, the WWE Network is still active, but once April's Lesslemania week begins, Peacock will be the only place to watch the wrestling promotion's live "pay per view" (no one pays that way anymore) events. This Sunday, WWE Fastlane 2021 will be Peacock's first PPV.
