## Key points

- *The Adjustment Bureau* leaves Peacock in August 2026.
- Marked Matt Damon and Emily Blunt's first film together.
- Sci-fi thriller based on a 1954 Philip K. Dick story.

## Summary

Peacock will remove *The Adjustment Bureau*, the 2011 sci-fi thriller starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, from its US streaming library in August 2026. The film, directed by George Nolfi, marked the first on-screen pairing of Damon and Blunt, who later worked together again in Christopher Nolan's *Oppenheimer*. Its departure means one of Damon's lesser-discussed sci-fi credits, often overshadowed by later hits like *The Martian* and *Interstellar*, will soon be unavailable to Peacock subscribers.

The film is based on a 1954 short story by Philip K. Dick and follows a couple who fall for each other only to discover they were never meant to be together, prompting a shadowy group of hat-wearing agents to intervene and keep them on their preordained paths. Nolfi, previously a writer on *Ocean's Twelve* and *The Bourne Ultimatum*, has been credited with blending tones reminiscent of *Black Mirror* and the bureaucratic fate-controllers of Marvel's *Loki* and its Time Variance Authority. The exact removal date in August 2026 was not specified in the report.
