The Fall Guy Now Available for Streaming on Peacock

Fans of The Fall Guy can now enjoy the action-packed film from the comfort of their homes if they’re subscribed to Peacock. Released earlier this year, The Fall Guy features Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Gosling plays the titular Fall Guy, inspired by the TV series from the ’80s. The film did pretty well at the box office, raking in over $175 million worldwide and garnering some positive feedback on Rotten Tomatoes. While it has been available to buy and rent digitally, it’s now joining other Universal Pictures films on Peacock.

Both the theatrical version of The Fall Guy and The Fall Guy: The Extended Cut are available to stream on Peacock starting today, August 30th. The Extended Cut includes an additional 20 minutes of footage not seen in theaters. There’s also been buzz about a sequel. “Oh yeah. We already – I mean, we love these characters so much that we wanted to know, just for ourselves, what happens to Colt and [Emily Blunt’s character] Jody after the movie ends? What’s the next phase for them? And we know exactly what it is. So hopefully the audience wants to know, too,” Gosling told The Fast Company. “The sequel sort of wrote itself. We already know [the story] intimately. We’re just hoping that people like this movie enough that we get to keep telling the story of these characters. We love them so much, and we love this world, and I feel confident that we can do it.”

Directed by David Leitch (Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde), The Fall Guy stars Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, Drive) as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who is drafted back into service after a near-career-ending accident. When Tom Ryder (Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Bullet Train), the star of a mega-budget studio movie directed by Colt’s ex, Jody Moreno, played by Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place films, Sicario), goes missing, Colt must step in to help.

Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series, The Fall Guy also stars Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso), Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise), and Academy Award nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once). The screenplay was written by Hobbs & Shaw screenwriter Drew Pearce.

The production team includes Kelly McCormick and David Leitch (Bullet Train, Violent Night, Nobody), their company 87North Productions, Ryan Gosling and his production shingle Entertainment 360, and Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs). The film is executive produced by Drew Pearce, Entertainment 360’s Geoff Shaevitz, and the creator of the original Fall Guy television series, Glen A. Larson.

For those eagerly awaiting more, the potential for a sequel looks promising, given the enthusiasm expressed by the cast and creators. Stay tuned on Peacock to keep up with the latest on The Fall Guy series.
