Peacock's new horror-comedy series 'The 'Burbs' premieres on February 8, starring Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall. Inspired by the 1989 film, the show follows a couple uncovering neighborhood secrets in a quiet suburb. Viewers can stream it with a Peacock subscription starting at $7.99 per month.
The upcoming series 'The 'Burbs' blends comedy, drama, and horror, drawing from the 1989 cult classic film of the same name. It centers on Rob and Samira Fisher, portrayed by Jack Whitehall and Keke Palmer, respectively. The young couple moves into Rob's childhood home in a seemingly peaceful cul-de-sac to accommodate their growing family, despite Samira's initial reservations.
Initially, life appears idyllic, but tensions arise when new owners take over the house across the street. These newcomers unearth long-buried secrets that disrupt the suburb's calm exterior, pulling the Fishers into a web of intrigue.
The cast also includes Julia Duffy as Lynn Gardner, Paula Pell as Dana Richards, Mark Proksch as Tod Mann, and Kapil Talwalkar as Naveen Varma. The series premiere airs Sunday, February 8, exclusively on Peacock. Subscriptions begin at $7.99 monthly, offering access to a range of content including NBC shows, Bravo reality series, and upcoming events like the 2026 Winter Olympics. For added value, Peacock can be bundled with Apple TV for $14.99 per month.
This adaptation revives the original film's suburban paranoia theme for a modern audience, promising a mix of laughs and chills as the characters confront hidden threats.
