A fresh take on Joe Dante’s cult classic starring Tom Hanks, Peacock’s “The ‘Burbs” was a hit for Peacock in its first season earlier this year, and Season 2 is now on the way.
Deadline has confirmed that “The ‘Burbs” has been renewed for a second season.
The outlet notes, “The series has generated 1.7 billion+ viewing minutes on the domestic platform. The ’Burbs also made Nielsen’s U.S. Originals Top 10 for four consecutive weeks.”
“We’re so thrilled that audiences loved season one of The ’Burbs, and are going to get to spend more time in Hinkley Hills with Keke and the rest of this incredible cast,” said Peacock’s Lisa Katz. “A huge congratulations to all of the writers, producers and crew who updated the beloved original film and made something funny, warm and highly contemporary.”
Set in present-day suburbia, Keke Palmer (Nope) and Jack Whitehall (Jungle Cruise) star as 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. New threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.
The debut season of Peacock’s “The ‘Burbs” ends with a cliffhanger tease that suggests a much large conspiracy afoot, with one main character’s fate left hanging in the balance.
The good news? The story will continue. Stay tuned for updates.
