Peacock just dropped the teaser trailer for “The ’Burbs,” a twisted, modern take on Joe Dante’s 1989 cult classic, and this suburban nightmare is looking darker—and bloodier—than you remember.
Keke Palmer (Nope), Jack Whitehall (Jungle Cruise), Julia Duffy (Newhart), Paula Pell (SNL), Mark Proksch (What We Do in the Shadows), and Kapil Talwalkar (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) lead a cast ready to peel back the manicured lawns of suburbia… revealing the rot underneath.
Who’s the killer hiding behind the white picket fences? All eight episodes drop Sunday, February 8, exclusively on Peacock, where secrets fester and the quiet cul-de-sac is anything but safe.
Palmer and Whitehall play a young couple reluctantly moving into the husband’s childhood home, only to discover that their “friendly” new neighbor is dragging the neighborhood’s dark, murderous past into the present. Old secrets and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of calm suburban life—and nobody is safe.
The series is helmed by creator/showrunner Celeste Hughey (Dead to Me) with Rachel Shukert (The Handmaid’s Tale) on writing duties, and Nzingha Stewart (Tall Girl, Daisy Jones & The Six) directing, ensuring the tension is both sharp and unsettling.
Guest stars include horror-adjacent icons Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense), RJ Cyler (Power Rangers), Justin Kirk (Weeds), Kyrie McAlpin (Will Trent), Danielle Kennedy (Narcos), and Randy Oglesby (Star Trek: Enterprise), adding even more eerie energy to the already menacing cul-de-sac.
Executive producers include Palmer, Hughey, Shukert, Stewart, Seth MacFarlane, Brian Grazer, and the original The ’Burbs writer Dana Olsen as co-executive producer. Sadly, Joe Dante himself isn’t involved, but the series keeps the spirit of suburban dread alive.
Filmed on the Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles, the show echoes the movie’s familiar setting—but this time, the shadows behind those iconic lawns are darker, the secrets deadlier, and the screams… inevitable.
