Alan Ritchson has become a household name thanks to his action-packed roles in Reacher, Fast X, and the Netflix smash War Machine. But before he revs up for his next adrenaline-fueled ride in Motor City (hitting theaters July 24), fans have a rare chance to see him in a completely different light. His heartfelt drama Ordinary Angels is currently streaming on Peacock, but only until July 21, 2026.
Released in theaters in 2024, Ordinary Angels is a faith-based true story that tugs at the heartstrings. Directed by Jon Gunn (House of David), the film stars Ritchson alongside Oscar winner Hilary Swank. It tells the incredible real-life tale of a hairdresser who rallies her community to help a widowed father save his critically ill young daughter. The movie earned a “Certified Fresh” 84% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and an almost perfect 99% audience rating, making it a sleeper hit that has found new life on streaming.
For Ritchson, Ordinary Angels is a standout departure from his usual tough-guy roles. While he’s best known for playing the formidable Jack Reacher on Prime Video, this film showcases his dramatic range and emotional depth. It’s a reminder that the actor can do more than throw punches—he can also break your heart.
If you haven’t seen it yet, now’s the time. Peacock is saying goodbye to Ordinary Angels on July 21, just days before Ritchson’s next big action movie, Motor City, roars into theaters. And that’s not all—Ritchson is also set to reprise his role as Reacher in the upcoming spin-off series Neagley, with a fourth season of the main show in the works.

With a modest $13 million budget, Ordinary Angels grossed over $20 million worldwide, proving that heartwarming stories can still draw crowds. Its strong audience score has also made it a home-video favorite. If you’re in the mood for a tearjerker that celebrates community and resilience, this is your last chance to stream it on Peacock.
Don’t wait—mark your calendar for July 21. After that, you’ll have to find another way to watch this hidden gem.
