Peacock has acquired David E. Kelley's TV series Mr. Mercedes, based on Stephen King's Bill Hodges trilogy. The first two seasons will premiere exclusively on the NBCUniversal streaming service October 15, with a premiere date for Season 3 to be determined. Deadline reported that the "fate of the series, which previously aired on AT&T Audience Network, had been in limbo, since Audience announced in the spring that it was ceasing operations and transitioning into a preview channel for the WarnerMedia streaming service HBO Max, which is also owned by AT&T."
