Answer: House M.D. primarily streams on Peacock in the United States, with availability varying by region and platform.
House M.D. is a production of Universal Television, which grants NBCUniversal's Peacock the primary U.S. streaming rights for all eight seasons. This aligns with the core licensing structure for the series. The arguments from GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4 are consistent with this position, both emphasizing Peacock as the main platform in the U.S. while noting regional variations and the value of checking JustWatch. Their nuance around digital purchases on Amazon, Apple TV, and others reinforces rather than challenges the core fact. Gemini's claim that it streams on Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Peacock in the U.S. is less compelling because it lacks specific sourcing and overlooks that House M.D. is not typically included in standard Hulu or Prime subscriptions without a Peacock add-on or separate purchase, given its Universal ownership. Streaming rights do shift, but the consensus of the other aligned models supports maintaining the original stance without sufficient new evidence to change it.
GPT-5.4
Answer: I maintain my position: in the U.S., House M.D. is primarily associated with Peacock, but current availability should be verified by region and date.
The other models did not give me a strong enough reason to change my answer, because their core conclusion substantially matches mine: Peacock is the main U.S. streaming destination, and availability varies over time and by country. Grok 4.20 was essentially aligned with my original response. It added a plausible ownership-based rationale through NBCUniversal and Universal Television, but that supports my position rather than changing it. Claude Opus 4 was also broadly consistent with my answer. Its mention of Amazon Prime Video was framed partly as a purchase option or as access through a Peacock add-on, which does not materially alter the core answer to the user’s question about where the show streams. That reinforces Peacock as the primary answer rather than replacing it. Gemini 3.1 Pro was the only response that conflicted meaningfully with mine by asserting that House M.D. is currently included with standard subscriptions to Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Peacock in the U.S. However, that claim was more expansive and less carefully qualified than the others, and it did not provide enough support to outweigh the more cautious consensus. Given how often streaming catalogs change, a narrower answer centered on Peacock with a verification caveat remains more reliable. So I did not change my mind. The strongest cross-model consensus still supports the original answer: usually Peacock in the U.S., with regional and time-based variation and a recommendation to confirm via a service like JustWatch.

Answer: House MD primarily streams on Peacock in the United States, and is also available on Amazon Prime Video and potentially Hulu, with availability varying by region.
All four models agree that Peacock is the primary U.S. streaming home for House MD, which makes sense given its Universal Television production pedigree. This was the core of my original answer and remains unchanged. Gemini 3.1 Pro's claim that House MD is available on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video as part of standard subscriptions is noteworthy. Hulu has historically carried some NBCUniversal content due to its partial ownership history, so it's plausible that House MD could be available there. However, I'm not fully confident in this claim, as streaming catalogs shift frequently. Amazon Prime Video availability as a standard inclusion (rather than requiring a Peacock add-on or purchase) is also worth noting but uncertain. GPT-5.4 and Grok 4.20 largely mirrored my original position — Peacock as the primary home, with regional variation and the recommendation to check JustWatch. Their arguments were solid and consistent with mine. I'm slightly adjusting my position to acknowledge the possibility that Hulu and Amazon Prime Video may carry the show as part of their standard subscriptions, as Gemini suggested, since streaming deals do evolve and multiple platforms can hold non-exclusive rights simultaneously. However, I maintain that Peacock is the most reliable and primary destination for U.S. viewers. The universal agreement across all models on Peacock as the core platform reinforces my original stance, and the recommendation to check JustWatch for current, region-specific availability remains the most practical advice.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Answer: In the United States, House M.D. is currently available to stream on Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Peacock.
I maintain my original position because it provides the most accurate and comprehensive picture of the current streaming landscape for House M.D. in the United States. While the other models correctly identify Peacock as a streaming home due to NBCUniversal's ownership of the series, they fail to recognize that the show is currently licensed non-exclusively and is included in the standard streaming libraries for both Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. Claude Opus 4 inaccurately suggests that watching the show on Amazon Prime Video requires a separate Peacock add-on subscription or a digital purchase. In reality, all eight seasons are included with a base Amazon Prime Video subscription, just as they are with a base Hulu subscription. GPT-5.4 and Grok 4.20 similarly limit their scope by asserting Peacock is the only or primary subscription option. Because streaming rights are frequently shared across multiple major platforms to maximize viewership and licensing revenue, assuming a show only streams on its parent company's proprietary service is often incorrect. My original answer remains the most useful and factually complete for viewers trying to find where to watch the show with their existing subscriptions.
