NBCUniversal\u2019s Peacock is unveiling a new interactive video feature that will let Peacock Premium subscribers delve into extended clips, including extra footage and interviews, from within an episode of \u201cThe Real Housewives.\u201d<\/p>\n
From October 14-16, BravoCon attendees will be able to preview the upcoming feature by watching an episode from season 2 of \u201cThe Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.\u201d As of now, the feature is only being tested on Roku devices but will gradually roll out to other devices over time.<\/p>\n
Season three of the hit series is set to premiere next year and will be the first to have the new feature. At launch, premium subscribers can interact with three episodes of \u201cThe Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip,\u201d with the option to watch extended clips and exclusive interviews.<\/p>\n
As viewers watch the show, they will be prompted to get their remote ready for an \u201cinteractive scene\u201d and have around 15 seconds to decide if they want to watch extended footage of that scene as well as exclusive interviews, which go deeper into what characters were thinking during that particular scene.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not something where we\u2019re forcing everyone to change the way they\u2019re watching their favorite show,\u201d Jelley told . They also have the option to go back to the main story at any time.<\/p>\n This new \u201cunique experience\u201d will hopefully get new fans to the platform, Jelley added. \u201cNow that we\u2019re an exclusive streaming home for Bravo content, it\u2019s an opportunity to show Bravo fans that Peacock is a great place to come for this type of content,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell boasted last week that Peacock added over 2 million paid subscribers in the third quarter, partly due to Bravo content moving to the platform.<\/p>\n Since \u201cThe Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip\u201d is a Peacock original, the team at Bravo worked in close partnership with Peacock to film scenes specifically for the interactive feature exclusive to the platform. For instance, Peacock is exploring giving viewers the option to watch what\u2019s happening in the next room during a scene, Jelley told us.<\/p>\n In a demo with , Jelley gave us a sneak peek of the feature. We watched the coffee reading scene in the second episode of season 2 when Dorinda invited the other cast members to her famous Bluestone Manor. Interactive scenes included extra footage of Dorinda blowing up at Brandi and exclusive interviews from Eva, Tamra, and Brandi.<\/p>\n Peacock continues to invest in interactive features to engage viewers further. In May, the company announced \u201cCatch Up with Key Plays,\u201d which lets English Premier League viewers stream highlights without disrupting the game. Peacock recently launched a \u201cHalloween Nightmare Game,\u201d an interactive virtual escape room game that makes the viewer click on different objects on the screen.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s announcement comes on the heels of Meta partnering with NBCUniversal to bring the Peacock streaming app to the Meta Quest virtual reality headset.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NBCUniversal\u2019s Peacock is unveiling a new interactive video feature that will let Peacock Premium subscribers delve into extended clips, including extra footage and interviews, from within an episode of \u201cThe Real Housewives.\u201d From October 14-16, BravoCon attendees will be able to preview the upcoming feature by watching an episode from season 2 of \u201cThe Real […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1224716,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1224714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrity-gossip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1224714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224714\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1224714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1224714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1224714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
