The start of September saw the iconic teen dramedy The Breakfast Club land on Peacock’s streaming lineup. John Hughes‘ classic high school movie, which cemented the icon status of the Brat Pack, is once again on a major service, making it easy to revisit for the folks that don’t own a physical copy. There is, however, one major caveat when it comes to this addition.
The Breakfast Club Only Streaming for a Limited Time
Peacock just added The Breakfast Club on September 1st, but it appears as though the beloved film is only going to be on the streamer’s roster for a few weeks.
Per JustWatch, a site that tracks the additions and departures on streaming service, The Breakfast Club will once again depart Peacock when September comes to a close. That means the John Hughes hit will only spend a single month on Peacock before either heading to a new streaming service, or once again being relegated to just on-demand rentals and purchases.
Streaming John Hughes Movies
The Breakfast Club is the most popular film that Hughes directed during his career, but a couple of others came close. Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Uncle Buck, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles were all helmed by Hughes. There’s also a slew of movies that he wrote and produced but didn’t direct, including Home Alone and the Vacation franchise.
Hughes has remained one of our most beloved storytellers through his work in the ’80s and ’90s, so it isn’t surprising that many of his films are easily accessible in the world of streaming. Hits like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Weird Science, and The Great Outdoors are all currently streaming on Netflix, while Sixteen Candles can be found on Prime Video.
The Home Alone movies can all be found streaming on Disney+, though Hughes was only involved in the first two films in the series. Titles like Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Pretty in Pink can be found on Kanopy, which is a totally free (and very high quality) service that just requires the use of a local library card.
