Critically Acclaimed Sci-Fi Thriller “Bugonia” Now Streaming on Peacock
LOS ANGELES, CA – December 28, 2025 – As 2025 draws to a close and sci-fi fans reflect on a year brimming with cinematic successes like “Mickey 17” and “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” Peacock is offering one last treat: Yorgos Lanthimos’ thought-provoking sci-fi thriller “Bugonia.” The film, a remake of the South Korean cult classic “Save the Green Planet!,” began streaming on December 26th.
“Bugonia” stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons as two conspiracy theorists convinced that a powerful CEO is an alien plotting Earth’s destruction. Their desperate attempt to save humanity involves kidnapping the CEO, leading to a mind-bending narrative that blurs the lines between reality and delusion.
“Bugonia” isn’t just a sci-fi thriller; it’s a commentary on societal anxieties and the dangers of paranoia. Lanthimos’ signature style, coupled with powerhouse performances from Stone and Plemons, create a truly unsettling and memorable cinematic experience. The film is generating awards season buzz with Golden Globe nominations and strong Oscar talk for its leading actors.
Critics have lauded the film, with ComicBook giving it a 4/5 rating, praising its tight-knit cast and tense drama. “Bugonia” currently holds a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with an impressive 87% critic score.
Peacock encourages viewers to dive into the complex narrative of “Bugonia,” even if they’ve seen it before. A second viewing promises a deeper understanding of the film’s themes and a chilling re-evaluation of its events.
In addition to “Bugonia,” Peacock offers a robust selection of sci-fi films, including “10 Cloverfield Lane,” “2012,” and “The Martian.” Other recent additions to the platform’s streaming library include “The Croods: A New Age,” “The Fabelmans,” “Gladiator,” and “Pride and Prejudice.”
