Good Times Never Seemed So Good: When is the Song Sung Blue Peacock Streaming Date

If you spent your Christmas break weeping into your popcorn while watching Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson belt out soft-rock anthems, congratulations: you have taste. For everyone else who missed the theatrical run because they were too busy dodging family political debates, the wait is almost over. The official Song Sung Blue Peacock streaming date is set for February 13, 2026, making it the ultimate "Galentine’s" or "Valentine’s" or "I’m-drinking-wine-alone" viewing event of the season.

From Milwaukee with Love (and Sequins)

Based on Greg Kohs’ 2008 documentary, Song Sung Blue tells the aggressively earnest true story of Mike and Claire Sardina. These aren't your typical glossy Hollywood leads; they are two down-on-their-luck musicians from Milwaukee who find salvation and each other by forming a Neil Diamond tribute act called Lightning & Thunder.

Hugh Jackman sheds the adamantium claws for a denim vest and a chest-hair-forward aesthetic that feels surprisingly right.

Meanwhile, Kate Hudson proves once again that she is the undisputed queen of the "bohemian woman with a heart of gold and a slight tragedy" subgenre. It’s a movie that asks the question: Can a shared love for "Sweet Caroline" actually heal a broken life? According to the box office numbers and the sheer amount of glitter used in the costume department, the answer is a resounding yes.

Why You Need to Clear Your Schedule

Peacock snagging the streaming rights for this Focus Features hit is a major win for the "Birds of a Feather" crowd. Coming off a 50-day theatrical window, the film arrives on the platform with a shiny "Certified Fresh" badge and enough Oscar buzz to make a hive jealous. Specifically, Kate Hudson’s performance has garnered a Best Supporting Actress nomination, proving that if you sing through enough heartache, the Academy will eventually notice.

While the film hits the high notes of a standard biopic, it avoids the usual "rise and fall" cliches by staying rooted in the weird, wonderful reality of the Milwaukee bar scene. It’s gritty, it’s sparkly, and it’s occasionally so sincere it hurts, which is exactly what we expect from a Craig Gillespie (of I, Tonya fame) production.
