‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Favorite Mark Proksch & More Join Peacock’s ‘The ‘Burbs’ Series

Mark Proksch (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Jack Whitehall (Jungle Cruise), Julia Duffy (“Newhart”), Paula Pell (“Saturday Night Live”), and Kapil Talwalkar (“Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist”) have joined “The ‘Burbs” as series regulars.

Keke Palmer (Nope) will star in and executive produce the Peacock series based on Joe Dante‘s 1989 dark comedy film.

Palmer and Whitehall play a young couple 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.

Nzingha Stewart (Tall Girl, “Daisy Jones & the Six”) will direct the first episode, written by showrunner Celeste Hughey (“Dead to Me”). Both are on board to executive produce as well.

“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane and veteran producer Brian Grazer (A Beautiful Mind, “Arrested Development”) are also among the executive producers, while original The ‘Burbs writer Dana Olsen serves as a co-executive producer.

The series will film on the Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles, just like the movie, which starred Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Rick Ducommun, and Corey Feldman.
