The ’Burbs is a new mystery series headed to Peacock, and it’s a modern reimagining of the 1989 cult‑classic film The ’Burbs, famously starring Tom Hanks. This updated take brings the suburban paranoia into the present day and comes from producer Seth MacFarlane, promising a mix of mystery, satire, and dark humor.
The series follows a couple who move back into the husband’s childhood home after welcoming their first baby. What should be a fresh start in the safest town in the United States quickly turns unsettling as sinister secrets hidden within the quiet cul‑de‑sac begin to surface. Suburban perfection cracks, paranoia spreads, and no neighbor is quite what they seem.
The show stars Keke Palmer as Samira and Jack Whitehall as Rob, leading a cast that brings new energy to the familiar mystery‑meets‑comedy premise that made the original film such a fan favorite.
Check out the trailer below. The ’Burbs premieres on Peacock on February 8, 2026.
