In July, Peacock became the latest streaming service to raise prices, jacking them up by $3 a month for both its ad-supported and ad-free tiers (blame NBC’s $2.5 billion rights deal for NBA games, among other things). Continuing customers will see the price hike take effect Aug. 22.

A new A24 title, The Legend of Ochi, is alsoset to land on the platform. That will be available from August 15. It follows a shy girl who is raised to fear the ochi species, meeting a young ochi that was left behind, and forming an unlikely bond with them.
