Peacock has picked up distribution rights to survival drama On Fire from Cinverse. Starring Peter Facinelli (The Twilight Saga), the film is set to premiere on the streaming service this week on March 22.
Inspired by the true stories from several catastrophic wildfires on the Pacific coast, the film premiered at the 2023 Mammoth Film Festival where it was nominated for Best Genre Film.
In addition to Facinelli, On Fire is Asher Angel (Shazam! Fury of the Gods), Fiona Dourif (Chucky) and Lance Henriksen (Aliens).
On Fire tells the story of an ordinary man thrown into extraordinary circumstances. Dave Laughlin (Facinelli) is a humble man who has spent his life working to be a great husband, father and son. Living in a remote area of Northern California, he finds his world suddenly and violently torn apart as devastating wildfires rip through the surrounding area. With precious moments ticking by, Laughlin must flee with his son (Angel) and pregnant wife (Dourif) if they have any hope of surviving the rapid forces of mother nature.
