I'm getting very jealous about this show which I'm keen to see. Sadly, the Comcast-owned Sky seems to have lost interest in the Comcast-owned Peacock here in the UK. Peacock has only ever been a tile in the Sky service and not a stand-alone streamer. But if I go in today, they seem to have a grand total of just 14 series available! As far as I can make out the only actual Peacock shows in there are Bel-Air, Brave New World (cancelled), The Resort and Vampire Academy (cancelled). The others are some Bravo reality shows, and things like The Office (US version). There used to be a lot more but they let all the licences expire at the end of last year according to some forum posts, hence the dismal state of affairs today.
I believe the parent company doesn't really know what to do with the Peacock brand outside the US where it has just about zero name recognition. I've never once seen an advert for it. They could just put the shows on the Sky platform, but if Comcast is giving up the ghost on the brand internationally, they may just sell shows to the highest bidder. Anyway, no Poker Face for us...
