Peter Falk is known for multiple roles over his career of five decades, but his most famous role is by far Lieutenant Columbo from Columbo. It has been fifteen years since Peter Falk passed away, but fans of the actor and of Columbo still think of him dearly.
Created by Richard Levinson and William Link, Columbo ran on NBC from February 1968 to May 1978 and then on ABC from February 1989 to January 2003. The show is now available for streaming on multiple platforms. Here’s where you can stream it.
Where to watch Columbo starring Peter Falk
Given that the show began in 1968, there aren’t a lot of platforms where all seasons of the show are available. Columbo ran for 10 seasons, and you can watch the first seven seasons of the show on Peacock Premium. To do so, you will require a Peacock Premium subscription, which costs $10.99 each month or $109.99 for an annual plan. However, this is a basic plan that comes with ads. For the ad-free subscription, you would have to pay $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year.
You may also stream the first seven seasons of Columbo on Prime Video. To do so, you will need a Prime Video subscription, which will cost you $14.99 per month or $139 annually. The later seasons of the show are listed as Columbo, New on Prime Video, and you may check them out after watching the first seven seasons. Seasons 1 to 7 of the show are also available for streaming on Apple TV. You will require an Apple TV subscription to watch the show, which will cost you $12.99 per month or $99 annually.
While most streaming platforms do not have seasons 8-10 of Peter Falk’s Columbo available, you can stream those last three seasons on Tubi. For viewers in the USA, Tubi is free and is an ad-supported platform. If you do want to watch Seasons 8-10 of Columbo on Tubi, you just have to bear through the few advertisements in between.
Columbo is a crime drama series that stars Peter Falk, Bruce Kirby, John Finnegan, Mike Lally, Vito Scotti, along with Shera Danese and other cast members. The show’s episodes started by showing viewers the actual crime during its commission, along with the criminal’s identity, before presenting the subsequent investigation process. Peter Falk played the role of Lieutenant Columbo, who worked as a homicide detective for the Los Angeles Police Department. His signature catchphrase was,
“Just one more thing.”
