Five More Set For “The ‘Burbs” TV Series

Jack Whitehall (“Jungle Cruise”), Julia Duffy (“Palm Royale”), Paula Pell (“Girls5eva”), Mark Proksch (“What We Do In The Shadows”), and Kapil Talwalkar (“Night Court”) have all scored series regular roles in the TV series version of the 1989 dark comedy “The ‘Burbs” at Peacock.

Set in present-day suburbia, the story follows a young couple (Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall) who have reluctantly relocated to the husband’s childhood home.

Their world is upended when a new neighbor moves in across the street bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.

Celeste Hughey will adapt the film for television and executive produce. Nzingha Stewart will executive produce and direct the first episode, while Seth MacFarlane and Brian Grazer also executive produce.

The series will film on the Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles, just like the original film.

Joe Dante helmed that Tom Hanks-led film which received mix reviews at the time, but opened at No. 1 at the box office and has since earned a cult following.
