The ‘Burbs (2026)

Matt Roush says...

Peacock takes advantage of its captive Olympics audience by using it as a springboard to promote the rebooting of the 1989 mystery-comedy movie that starred Tom Hanks. The eight-part horror-humor hybrid (all episodes available for binge-watching) now stars Keke Palmer (Password) as the unsettled newcomer to suburbia, a new mom who moves with her husband (Jack Whitehall) to Hinkley Hills, billed as “the safest town in America.” Or it would be except for the sinister “Munster Mansion” that blights their cul-de-sac, newly occupied by an ominously aloof interloper (Justin Kirk) who raises the neighbors’ suspicions. Secrets abound on Ashfield Place, with pro scene-stealers Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, and What We Do in the Shadows alum Mark Proksch among the peculiar residents.
