US EditionKeke Palmer is a fish out of water in horror-comedy series based on cult movie ‘The ’Burbs’
- On Sunday, Feb. 8, Peacock premieres The 'Burbs with an eight-episode first season starring Keke Palmer as Samira in a female-forward lead.
- Built from the 1989 original, Hughey — hired by executive producers Seth MacFarlane and Brian Grazer — reframed the film through a modern lens to center a Black, female perspective.
- With several nods to the 1989 film, the series was filmed on Universal's cul-de-sac backlot, invited Wendy Schaal to return, and includes a blink-or-you'll-miss-it image of Tom Hanks.
- Addressing social tensions, the series explores microaggressions, racial profiling, bullying, and childhood trauma, focusing on Samira and who feels secure in suburbia, justifying its remake's significance.
- Strong performances, especially between Palmer and supporting cast, help the series balance humor and horror while maintaining the original's tone, critics say.
