ORLANDO, Fla. — The premiere of “Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks” docuseries has been delayed. The three-part series, produced for the Peacock streaming service, is now scheduled to debut Nov. 17.

The series, originally set to be seen starting in July, had previously been pushed to Sept. 29. No reason has been announced for the schedule changes.

A previous one-hour special named “Inside the World of Epic Universe” remains available on Peacock.

The upcoming docuseries includes interviews with directors, producers, executives and celebrities, according to a Peacock description.

“The series will explore Universal’s iconic film and theme park history as well as provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes countdown to the opening of its groundbreaking new theme park, Universal Epic Universe,” it continues.

Epic Universe opened about 2 miles southeast of Universal Orlando’s first two theme parks, Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida, on May 22.

Promotional materials for “Epic Ride” indicate appearances by Steven Spielberg, actress Bryce Dallas Howard and John Chu, who all appeared in “Inside the World of Epic Universe.”

Universal’s theme parks, Peacock and NBC are all part of the Comcast corporate family.
