Keke Palmer set to produce and star in new take on The ‘Burbs

September 9, 2024 by EJ Moreno

Visit The ‘Burbs, where wicked things lie in everyone’s house.

Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to The ‘Burbs, a new series adaptation of the 1989 film of the same name. The series will star the Emmy Award winner Keke Palmer, who is also set to executive produce.

Celeste Hughey (Palm Royale, Dead to Me) will write and executive produce the series. Seth MacFarlane (Ted), Erica Huggins, and Aimee Carlson for Fuzzy Door will executive produce alongside Brian Grazer (Arrested Development), Kristen Zolner, and Natalie Berkus for Imagine Entertainment. Dana Olsen, the writer of the 1989 film, will serve as co-executive producer on the series.

Set in present-day suburbia, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple returning to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when new neighbors move in next door, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.

The 1989 American black comedy film was directed by Joe Dante and starred Tom Hanks with Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Rick Ducommun, Corey Feldman, Wendy Schaal, Henry Gibson, and Gale Gordon. Per the press release, the series adaptation will film in Los Angeles at the exact location as the original 1989 film, the backlot of Universal Studios Hollywood.

Stay tuned for more news about this new take on The ‘Burbs.
