Peacock’s US movie line-up for November 13–15 offers a historical action drama, a returning dystopian blockbuster and an ensemble Christmas romance. Andrew Garfield stars in The Uprising, a drama inspired by the events behind the Robin Hood legend. The Hunger Games returns to Peacock on Saturday, November 14, and the seasonal favourite Love Actually has been streaming since November 1. The films span three genres and make a varied weekend menu.

The release dates are different, so this guide does not describe all three as new this weekend. Peacock lists The Uprising for November 6 and Love Actually for November 1. The first Hunger Games movie, by contrast, is scheduled for November 14, alongside the rest of the franchise. Our countdown puts Love Actually third as an early-season festive rewatch, The Hunger Games second as the most familiar franchise adventure, and The Uprising first for its historical setting and fresh catalogue timing.

That ranking is a recommendation for this particular weekend, not a universal judgement. If you want the comfort of an ensemble romantic comedy, begin with Love Actually. If you want a high-stakes story about a young person forced into a televised contest, pick The Hunger Games. If you are curious about medieval England and the conflict that inspired the Robin Hood legend, start with The Uprising. Each one has a different audience and a clear reason to press play.

This guide refers to the US Peacock catalogue. Streaming rights vary by territory, and Peacock is not available as a standalone service in all countries. Check the film’s page in your own app or local service before planning to watch. It can show whether the movie is included with your subscription, its maturity rating, language tracks and accessibility features. A title listed for a given date can also be subject to later schedule changes.

How We Ranked This Peacock Weekend Line-up

We weighed each film’s central premise, its suitability for the weekend, the audience it serves and its actual catalogue timing. A new arrival is a good reason to include a title in a weekend guide, but the ranking also needs to explain what makes the movie worth choosing. The Uprising gets the top spot because it is a recent addition and brings a historical action premise that differs from the more familiar franchise and holiday options.

The films also serve different kinds of viewers. Love Actually is an ensemble romance with intersecting stories, The Hunger Games is dystopian science fiction built around survival and resistance, and The Uprising is a historical drama inspired by real events in 1381 England. We have kept the plot details spoiler-light and used official Peacock descriptions for the streaming dates and basic premises.

There is a distinction between new to Peacock and new to film. The Uprising was already released in 2026 before arriving on Peacock November 6; Love Actually is a 2003 film; and The Hunger Games is a 2012 release returning to the streaming catalogue November 14. This is a guide to movies available this weekend, with one specific new catalogue arrival during the Nov. 13–15 window.

3. Love Actually (2003)

Best for: viewers who want a familiar ensemble romance as Christmas season approaches.
Peacock US timing: added November 1, 2026; available this weekend, not a new arrival.

Richard Curtis’s Love Actually brings together several stories about love, friendship and family in London in the weeks before Christmas. The ensemble includes a newly elected prime minister, a writer who retreats to the French countryside, a man grieving his wife while trying to connect with his stepson, a newly married couple and a colleague whose feelings complicate a friendship. The different strands move through separate households and workplaces, but the holiday season gives the film a shared calendar and a city full of overlapping lives.

The movie’s structure is its defining feature. Rather than following one protagonist through a single romance, it moves between relationships at different stages: new attraction, long-term partnership, unspoken affection, family love, grief and the hope of beginning again. That variety is why the film can feel like a group watch even when individual viewers connect more strongly with one storyline than another. The seasonal setting gives the stories a deadline and a visual atmosphere, while the city’s public spaces make characters’ private feelings feel close to one another.

Its appeal depends on the viewer’s tolerance for a broad, sentimental ensemble style. Some stories lean into grand gestures; others focus on awkwardness or emotional disappointment. The film’s mix offers both comic moments and more serious beats, which is why it often returns to streaming calendars as Christmas season approaches. It can be a comfort rewatch for viewers who already know its structure or an introduction for someone who wants a romantic comedy with multiple perspectives.

It takes third place because it arrived on Peacock at the start of November and is not the weekend’s freshest catalogue event. It is also a familiar seasonal choice rather than the most unusual title in the trio. But if your weekend plan is to start decorating, invite friends over or move gently into holiday viewing, it may be the best personal pick. A ranking should help you choose, not dictate that a Christmas romance must come after an action film.

Choose it if: you enjoy ensemble romantic comedies, London settings and stories that move between several kinds of relationship. It works well for a group that can share different favourites from the same movie. If you want a single central hero and a tightly focused plot, the other two films may be a better fit.

2. The Hunger Games (2012)

Best for: viewers who want dystopian action, a survival contest and the start of a major film series.
Peacock US timing: returns November 14, 2026; Peacock’s schedule also lists the other franchise films that day.

Jennifer Lawrence stars as Katniss Everdeen, a teenager from District 12 in a future society where the Capitol exercises control over a group of districts. When her younger sister is selected for the Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She is sent into a televised contest in which young tributes must fight to survive, and her choices become a matter of life, strategy and public image. The setup turns a personal act of protection into a challenge to a system that uses spectacle to enforce its power.

The first film balances an immediate survival story with the larger dystopian world around it. Inside the arena, Katniss must read threats, manage alliances and make decisions with limited information. Outside it, the Capitol’s televised framing turns the participants into characters in a spectacle, and Katniss has to understand how to present herself without losing sight of the real danger. That double structure gives the movie both action and political context.

Lawrence’s performance anchors the film in practical intelligence and determination. Katniss is not an invulnerable action hero; she is a young person trying to keep someone she loves safe and then survive a system designed to make survival difficult. Her choices create the emotional spine of the story. The film also introduces the world and themes that continue across the sequels, making Peacock’s return of the full franchise a useful opportunity to watch the series in sequence.

It ranks second because it is the most recognisable blockbuster in the selection and arrives during the weekend, but it is a returning title rather than a first-run release

. The Uprising gets the top position for its more immediate new-to-Peacock angle. Still, for viewers who have not watched the series or who want to revisit the beginning before continuing to the later films, The Hunger Games is an easy weekend recommendation.

Choose it if: you like dystopian worlds, survival stories, young protagonists and action with political stakes. It is the best choice for viewers who want to begin a franchise run; Peacock lists the sequels as arriving the same day, so you can continue the story if you have enough time. Check the local age rating and content guidance before choosing for a family audience.

1. The Uprising (2026)

Best for: viewers interested in historical action, rebellion and the events that helped shape the Robin Hood legend.
Peacock US timing: added November 6, 2026; available this weekend, not a new November 13 premiere.

Andrew Garfield stars as a farmer who becomes a leader in a 1381 English rebellion against King Richard II. Peacock describes the film as inspired by the true events that helped form the Robin Hood legend. As the king’s rule provokes resistance, the protagonist helps raise an army of common people and lead them toward London in a fight for justice and freedom. Jamie Bell and Stephen Dillane also star. The historical setting gives the story a conflict rooted in power, class and the danger of challenging a ruler.

The central tension is not only whether a rebellion can succeed, but what makes ordinary people decide that the existing order cannot continue. A farmer is not introduced as a conventional military commander; the movement gains force because many people have reasons to resist the king’s authority. The story can therefore show both individual leadership and collective action. A march toward London supplies a clear physical direction, while the political conflict gives the journey its stakes.

Because the film draws on events associated with the Robin Hood legend, viewers may recognise familiar themes of injustice and resistance, even if the story does not simply retell a traditional Robin Hood adventure. That historical connection can make the movie appealing to people who enjoy seeing how folklore grows out of political memory. Its action premise promises movement, but the class conflict and the question of who gets to exercise power give it a more grounded centre.

It takes the top position because it is the most recent Peacock addition among the three, and it offers the least familiar story world. The Hunger Games is an excellent blockbuster return and Love Actually is a seasonal favourite, but The Uprising gives this weekend list its strongest new catalogue choice. It also broadens the range beyond contemporary franchises and holiday romance, making the three-film selection feel more varied.

Choose it if: you enjoy historical action, rebellion narratives and stories about people challenging concentrated power. If you want to understand the real historical context behind the film, read an additional history after watching; a drama inspired by events is not a substitute for a documentary account. It is the strongest pick for viewers looking for a new-to-Peacock title and a story with a political frame.

Which Peacock Movie Should You Watch?

Choose The Uprising for a recent addition and a historical action story. Choose The Hunger Games if you want a dystopian blockbuster and may continue with its sequels. Choose Love Actually if you want an ensemble romantic comedy that begins the holiday season. The titles are unrelated, so there is no required watch order. Choose based on tone, age range and how much time you have.

If you want to watch more than one, a practical sequence is to begin with The Uprising, follow with The Hunger Games if you are in the mood for another action film, and save Love Actually for a lighter evening. Alternatively, use Love Actually as the social group watch and keep the other titles for separate nights. Each film works on its own, but the Hunger Games sequels naturally benefit from watching the first movie before continuing.

Peacock’s schedule can include movies added on different dates across the same month. Confirm the title’s service page before planning to stream, particularly if you live outside the United States. Some titles may also appear in search results through a store or partner service. Check the subscription badge and playback options to make sure the movie is included in the way you expect.

For more options across services, see our movie guides to Peacock winter picks, family Christmas movies, family comedies, HBO Max films, and Hulu films. We also cover shows like Fallout and outbreak stories.

More Streaming Guides for the Weekend

Our platform watchlists include Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, HBO Max, BBC iPlayer, Hulu, Paramount+, and Sky and NOW.

Movie guides include family comedies, action comedies, HBO Max winter films, Hulu winter films, and holiday movies. These are published articles and can help you build a longer watchlist.

We check official platform announcements for date claims and distinguish them from editorial ranking decisions. A date can move, and a catalogue pick can disappear when streaming rights change. Use Peacock’s own title pages as your day-of confirmation. If you see a change in your local service, the platform’s current listing should take priority over this weekend guide.

The three films can appeal to different audiences in a shared household. Love Actually is the most social seasonal choice, The Hunger Games is the most established franchise option, and The Uprising has the freshest historical-action angle. If you are watching alone, choose whichever premise feels most inviting; there is no benefit to choosing the title with the highest name recognition if the mood is wrong.

Make a Peacock Weekend Watch Plan

The three films offer distinct audiences. The Uprising is for viewers interested in medieval history and stories about rebellion; The Hunger Games is the choice for dystopian action and the start of a series; Love Actually is the ensemble romance for an early holiday mood. Rather than trying to watch all three in a single sitting, choose one for each kind of evening. That keeps the weekend manageable and lets each film’s tone stand on its own.

If you have not seen the Hunger Games films, November 14 is a good time to start because Peacock’s US schedule lists the main movies together. Begin with the 2012 original and continue in release order. The story develops across the sequels, so watching a later instalment first can spoil character changes and political events. Viewers who know the films may instead use the catalogue return as a rewatch. The release is a return to Peacock, not a new production or an updated cut.

Understand the three arrival dates

The Uprising came to Peacock November 6, and Love Actually arrived November 1. The first Hunger Games film and its sequels are scheduled for November 14. Calling all three “new this weekend” would be inaccurate, so this guide describes the full trio as movies to watch during the weekend while identifying the one title that arrives within that date range. For an editorial calendar, that distinction is useful: it prevents readers from expecting a premiere when a film has already been available for several days.

Peacock’s schedule is for the United States. UK readers will need to check local services, including Sky or NOW, rather than assuming that a Peacock date applies to them. In the US, search the title page and verify that it is included with your plan. Streaming services sometimes present movies that require a premium tier or another access route alongside the main catalogue. Checking the details is especially useful if you are planning a franchise marathon or inviting guests.

Choose the right viewing context

The Uprising gives you a chance to watch a historical-action story and then discuss how an event can become a legend. The film is inspired by the 1381 rebellion and the story world associated with Robin Hood, but it is still a dramatic feature. Readers who want more historical detail should treat it as a gateway to further research, not as a complete account. The Hunger Games can prompt discussion about power, spectacle and survival, while Love Actually offers several relationship stories to compare.

Household suitability varies. The dystopian contest in The Hunger Games includes peril and violence; the historical rebellion in The Uprising involves conflict; and Love Actually is an adult romantic comedy. Check the local ratings, content warnings and profiles in Peacock before choosing for younger viewers. The most popular title is not automatically the best choice for every audience.

Official schedule details are available on Peacock’s new-movies guide, with current film details on its pages for The Uprising and Peacock’s movie collection. Use the US app for current subscription availability.

Choose the Peacock Film That Fits Your Weekend

The Uprising is the best fit if you want a historical story about resistance and are interested in a 1381 setting. The Hunger Games is the choice if you want a dystopian action film and might continue through the sequels. Love Actually works when you want an ensemble romance and a seasonal atmosphere. The films do not share a narrative, so the countdown is only a guide to what we recommend; there is no need to watch the number-one pick if the mood is wrong.

For a franchise watch, begin with The Hunger Games and continue through the sequels in release order. Peacock’s November schedule brings the movies together on November 14, which makes a follow-up easier for US subscribers. If you are new to the series, give yourself enough time to watch the later parts on separate nights rather than trying to finish everything at once. The story expands beyond the first survival contest, and the character arcs build from one film to the next.

The Uprising is inspired by events behind the Robin Hood legend, but historical inspiration is not the same as a documentary account. Viewers who are interested in medieval English history can enjoy the film’s dramatic choices and then compare them with reputable historical sources. This is a useful distinction whenever a movie uses a real rebellion as its foundation: the film can introduce a topic and create an emotional experience, but it necessarily selects and shapes details for a feature narrative.

When choosing for a household, review the local rating. The Hunger Games competition is built around danger, The Uprising includes historical conflict, and Love Actually is an adult romantic comedy. These are not automatically suitable for the same ages simply because they are offered on one service. Peacock’s profile controls and movie detail pages help families make a choice that fits their own rules.

For the official dates and descriptions, see Peacock’s November movies guide, its page for The Uprising, and the Peacock movie collection. The app confirms current inclusion and regional access.

What to watch first on Peacock

The Uprising is the fresh arrival, added November 6, and the choice for historical action. Andrew Garfield leads a story inspired by the 1381 English revolt and the popular legend that grew around the period. It offers a dramatic take on social upheaval and resistance, so viewers should approach it as a historical adventure rather than a documentary account. The film is already streaming for the weekend, but it is not a November 13 premiere.

The Hunger Games returns to the US Peacock catalogue on November 14. Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister’s place in a televised fight for survival, and the film builds its action around a larger story about inequality, spectacle and state power. Its return date makes it the most date-specific choice in this set. Check the app after the listing goes live on Saturday.

Love Actually is the seasonal ensemble option, available from November 1. Multiple London stories of romance, friendship and family intersect in the run-up to Christmas. The cast and interwoven structure make it a familiar annual rewatch for some viewers, while its mix of comic and bittersweet strands suits a group looking for something less intense than an action film.

A weekend order that balances the moods

Watch The Uprising first for a new historical adventure, save The Hunger Games for Saturday when its catalogue return begins, and finish with Love Actually as the lighter seasonal choice. If you are not in the US, the exact catalogue may differ; Peacock’s availability and licensing arrangements are not uniform internationally. Verify all three titles in the app or local provider listing before sharing a watch plan.

The trio covers three distinct kinds of spectacle: a period revolt, a dystopian competition and an ensemble of everyday relationships. That makes it easy to choose one title for different audiences. Action fans may favour the first two, while a group wanting a romantic comedy can go directly to the third. Keep the film ratings in mind, particularly for younger viewers considering the two action dramas.

For a one-film pick, choose The Hunger Games if you want a recognisable franchise story and can watch after its Saturday return; choose The Uprising for a historical setting; or pick Love Actually for a cosy seasonal mood. The different release dates are useful context: only one is a weekend catalogue return, and none should be described as a Friday premiere.
