Peacock has tiers. The free level of 7plus would remain, but the next tier is ad-free, then top level is premium, with more movies, bigger selection. It’d be better than trying to introduce a new brand to the market and NBCU extends their reach. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
7Plus attracts Australia’s biggest free premium streaming audience
7plus has soared in Q2 to become Australia’s most-watched premium streaming service. Up 32% from Q1 2023, 7plus is #1 in BVOD post-Easter with a dominant 41.5% commercial share.
Record-breaking figures have been driven by Seven’s hit shows, including Farmer Wants A Wife, Home and Away, The 1% Club and breakout hit, The Rookie. Post-Easter 7plus is:

Law and Order UK
From today
UK version of the long-running U.S. TV drama that tells the stories of two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.
Eight series of Law & Order: UK were produced for ITV from 2009 to 2014. 10 only showed series 1 in Australia.
Will 7plus get the rights to all eight series?
Does anyone in Australia want to watch it? Ten only showed one season so the answer is probably no.
I find British tv much better quality in terms of drama and sitcoms then say American ones so I’ll probably give this one a go.
I am fairly sure Ten showed 2 or 3 seasons before dropping it. It popped in and out of the schedule a number of times during it’s run on Ten.
Peacock free tier has been dumped for new subs in the U.S. The other two tiers get the same content - one with ads, one without.
