11 Years Later, Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren's Forgotten WWII Drama Resurfaces

Peacock’s March slate is going heavy on big-library drops, but one of the most quietly compelling additions is a Ryan Reynolds drama that’s easy to overlook because it isn’t a war movie in the traditional sense. It’s a courtroom thriller powered by historical trauma and follows Holocaust survivor Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren) as she fights to reclaim Gustav Klimt’s portrait of her aunt — art stolen by the Nazis and later held by Austria. Reynolds plays her attorney, Randol, making the story work as both a moral mission and procedural pressure-cooker.

It’s a true-story historical drama with clear stakes, a clean runtime, and two instantly recognizable leads, which makes it the kind of “I’ll watch this tonight” pick that thrives on streaming even if it didn’t dominate pop culture back when it first released in 2015. The film, however, was a commercial success and managed to rake in $61M on just a $11M production budget. Peacock’s March lineup coverage also frames it as part of a large March 1 content wave, suggesting it could gain visibility simply from placement on the service’s front page.

Woman in Gold officially released on Peacock on March 1 and is available to stream on the platform right now. If you missed it the first time, this is the easiest entry point it’s had in years, especially for viewers who like WWII-adjacent true stories told through legal stakes rather than battlefield spectacle.

What Else is Coming to 'Peacock' in March 2026

Peacock’s March 2026 slate is basically a two-lane drop: new exclusives up top, massive library reload underneath. The month’s biggest event arrivals are Ted Season 2 (March 5), the Dorothy-focused doc It’s Dorothy! (March 13), and the streaming premiere package for Wicked: For Good (March 20). It also gets a late-month genre spike with Bambi: The Reckoning (March 27).

As of March 1, though, Peacock has flooded the service with high-recognition movies — John Wick: Chapter 4, Fight Club, The Big Lebowski, Promising Young Woman, Lost in Translation, Schindler’s List, plus both Ted films and The Wiz. Woman in Gold falls on the same data, and combined, it becomes the kind of drop designed to juice browsing and rewatch time immediately.

Woman in Gold is streaming on Peacock now. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
