Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu Streams Exclusively on Peacock February 21—Including a Never-Before-Seen Extended Cut

Following its acclaimed theatrical run, Robert Eggers’ gothic horror masterpiece Nosferatu is set to make its streaming debut exclusively on Peacock starting February 21, 2025.

With a star-studded cast and multiple award nominations, Nosferatu has cemented itself as one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.

A Haunting Tale Reimagined for a New Generation

Robert Eggers, known for his visionary works such as The Witch (2015) and The Lighthouse (2019), has brought his signature atmospheric storytelling to Nosferatu, delivering a deeply unsettling yet visually stunning reimagining of the 1922 silent classic.

The film tells the story of Ellen Hutter (Lily-Rose Depp), a haunted young woman who finds herself ensnared in the terrifying obsession of Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård), a mysterious and nightmarish vampire. As Orlok’s presence spreads dread and despair, Ellen and her fiancé, Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult), must face an unspeakable horror that threatens to consume them.

An All-Star Cast Brings Nosferatu to Life

Eggers has assembled an extraordinary ensemble cast for his chilling adaptation:

• Bill Skarsgård (It, Barbarian) as Count Orlok, the sinister vampire whose mere presence evokes terror.
• Nicholas Hoult (Renfield, Mad Max: Fury Road) as Thomas Hutter, a man unwittingly caught in the vampire’s web.
• Lily-Rose Depp (The Idol, Voyagers) as Ellen Hutter, the tragic heart of the story.
• Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train, Kick-Ass) as Friedrich Harding, a key figure in the unfolding horror.
• Emma Corrin (The Crown, Lady Chatterley’s Lover) in a mysterious role.
• Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse, Spider-Man) as the enigmatic Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz.

With Eggers at the helm, the cast delivers powerhouse performances that elevate the gothic horror elements to breathtaking heights.
