Peacock’s April movie lineup is pretty much front-loaded, which means most of the broadcaster’s new movies for the month have already arrived.
There are exceptions to that, including newcomers Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. The first one was a hit even though it was first shown in theaters the same day it came out on Peacock.
Now, that film is one of the three best Peacock movies to watch with us this weekend.
The rest of our picks include top comedies and unusual animated films.
‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’ (2025)
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 begins in 2002, two years after the events of the first film. Children killed by William Afton (Matthew Lillard) had his animatronic creatures and took revenge. Or at least that’s what Mich Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) wants to believe. But she’s smart enough to turn down the advances of her younger sister, Abby Schmidt (Piper Rubio), rebuilding the creatures so that he can meet his friends.
Mike is also wary of officer Vanessa Shelly (Elizabeth Lail), Afton’s daughter, who may not be to blame for her father’s attack as previously believed. With that relationship in jeopardy, Toy Chica (Megan Fox) and Marionette lure Abby to one of the first sites to resume the animatronics attack. And this time, there is no guarantee that the Schmidt family will survive.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 broadcast on the Peacock.
‘Liar Liar’ (1997)
Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is a great lawyer and an even better liar He is a liar.
