"All 12 seasons and 264 episodes of MSW were purged from Peacock this morning, despite the fact that the series is owned and distributed by Universal Television, sibling studio to the streamer," says Vulture's Josef Adalian. "While Peacock had posted a 'leaving soon' tag on the show a few weeks ago, it’s not unheard of for such notices to end up being removed once a new licensing deal gets worked out. But late on Monday, a Peacock rep confirmed: Murder is no mas as of today." As Adalian notes, Tubi recently added all 12 seasons of Murder, She Wrote and its follow-up made-for-TV movies. "As far as we can tell, it’s the only platform that has all 12 seasons of the show available to stream on demand. (Amazon’s Prime Video only offers the first six.)," says Adalian, adding: "While Tubi regularly licenses shows that stream multiple places, like all platforms, it values exclusivity, too, so it’s hard not to think someone at NBCU crunched some numbers and decided MSW would net more money for the company as an ad-supported offering — with Tubi as its main hub — than as something licensed by Peacock (because, yes, even though MSW is owned by NBCU, Peacock still had to pay market value for it)."
