Peacock‘s movie lineup for April is very front-loaded, which means that most of the streamer’s new films for the month have already arrived.
There are some exceptions to that, including the recently arrived Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. The original was a massive hit despite debuting in theaters the same day it dropped on Peacock.
Now, that film is one of Watch With Us‘ choices for the three best Peacock movies to binge-watch this weekend.
Our remaining picks include an over-the-top comedy and a very unusual animated film.
‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’ (2025)
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 kicks off in 2002, two years after the events of the original film. The children killed by William Afton (Matthew Lillard) possessed his animatronic creatures and took their revenge. Or at least that’s what Mich Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) wants to believe. But he’s smart enough to refuse the requests of his younger sister, Abby Schmidt (Piper Rubio), to rebuild the creatures so she can reunite with her friends.
Mike is also increasingly wary of Officer Vanessa Shelly (Elizabeth Lail), the daughter of Afton, who may not be as blameless for her father’s rampage as he previously believed. With that relationship in peril, Toy Chica (Megan Fox) and the Marionette lure Abby to one of the original sites to restart the animatronics’ rampage. And this time, there’s no guarantee that the Schmidt family will be spared.

‘Liar Liar’ (1997)
Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) is a great lawyer and an even better liar in Liar Liar. He lies so easily that it makes him very effective in court, even though Fletcher’s dishonesty led to the end of his marriage to Audrey Reede (Maura Tierney). After letting down his young son, Max (Justin Cooper), on his birthday, Fletcher is struck by Max’s birthday wish that he be unable to tell a lie for a single day.
It’s not as if Fletcher believes in birthday wishes, but this one is real, and it came at an inopportune time. Fletcher has to appear in court to settle a high-profile divorce, and he has to be completely truthful while doing it. Not even physically beating himself up is enough to break the hold that this curse has on him.

‘Piece by Piece’ (2024)
Piece by Piece is both a Lego movie and a music biopic for Pharrell Williams, who voices himself in the film. It’s an interesting way to present the largely true story of Williams’ rise in the music industry as well as his occasional falls and stumbles. Even Williams’ real-life wife, Helen Lasichanh, and his parents get in on the fun of voicing themselves.
But one of the biggest attractions of this film is its musical appearances by Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z and several others, all of whom play themselves. Williams acknowledges that he owes his career and some positive outcomes to his friends in the music industry, but he’ll have to chart his own path to be fully happy with himself and his destination.
