Hayley Kiyoko’s acclaimed coming-of-age drama Girls Like Girls is making its streaming debut, arriving exclusively on Peacock beginning August 14. Based on Kiyoko’s hit song and best-selling novel of the same name, the film has earned Certified Fresh and Verified Hot status on Rotten Tomatoes while introducing audiences to an emotional story of first love, self-discovery, and acceptance.
Marking Hayley Kiyoko’s feature directorial debut, Girls Like Girls stars Maya da Costa, Myra Molloy, Levon Hawke, and Zach Braff. The film follows Coley, a new girl in town whose unforgettable summer changes her life forever as she experiences first love while learning to embrace who she truly is.
Produced by Focus Features, Girls Like Girls joins Peacock’s growing lineup of Universal Pictures, Blumhouse, DreamWorks Animation, Illumination, and Focus Features films that stream exclusively on the service after their theatrical runs.

Girls Like Girls is more than just another streaming release. The film marks Hayley Kiyoko’s feature directorial debut and adapts both her hit song and bestselling novel into a heartfelt coming-of-age drama.
