The No. 1 Horror Movie of 2026 Is Officially Leaving Peacock

Curry Barker’s debut horror film *Obsession* is leaving Peacock on 17 November 2026, the same day it is expected to arrive on Netflix in the United States. The move follows a strong theatrical and streaming run, and may help keep the film in the spotlight as awards season approaches.

Made on a reported $750,000 budget, the film stars Michael Johnston as Bear, whose wish for his friend Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette, to love him becomes a nightmare. The article says it earned $17.2 million in its first week in cinemas and drew 456 million minutes of streaming in its first two days on Peacock; it also spent more than 150 days on JustWatch’s US streaming Top 10. Focus Features is promoting the film for several forthcoming Academy Award categories.
