Stay Cozy and Watch ‘Smash’ on Peacock Now

“Smash,” the beloved NBC musical drama produced by Steven Spielberg, has found a new home on Peacock after years of anticipation. The show, which aired for two seasons in 2012, follows the journey of two actresses, played by Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee, vying for the role of Marilyn Monroe on Broadway. The star-studded cast also includes Anjelica Huston, Debra Messing, Christian Boyle, and Uma Thurman.

Fans of the series can rejoice as all 32 episodes of “Smash” will be available for streaming on Peacock starting July 15. The decision to release the show on the platform comes ahead of a planned “Smash” musical debut on Broadway in Spring 2025. Despite facing criticism during its original run, “Smash” garnered accolades such as a Critics Choice Television Award, a GLAAD Media Award, and multiple Primetime Emmy nominations.

Known for its cult following and described as a favorite among online audiences, “Smash” has a unique charm that blends campy delight with self-awareness. The show’s over-the-top nature and catchy musical numbers, including hits like “Let Me Be Your Star” and “The 20th Century Fox Mambo,” have endeared it to viewers. The series’ popularity even led to a special Super Bowl ad featuring NBC stars singing a song from the show.

Since its cancellation in 2013, the “Smash” cast has reunited for special one-night-only performances of the show’s memorable songs. The positive reception from these events has paved the way for the transition of “Smash” into a full-fledged Broadway production. Fans can look forward to experiencing the magic of the show’s iconic music and performances in a new live format.

One standout moment from “Smash” is Megan Hilty’s powerful rendition of “They Just Keep Moving the Line,” showcasing the talent and energy that made the series a fan favorite. With its upcoming Broadway adaptation and availability on Peacock, “Smash” continues to captivate audiences with its infectious music and captivating storytelling.
