Peacock is bringing back a beloved 1989 cult classic with a new series, “The ‘Burbs,” starring Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall. The show reimagines Joe Dante's original film, which satirized suburban paranoia and neighborhood dynamics.

The original film, released in 1989, followed a family’s unsettling experiences in a seemingly idyllic suburban community. Dante's film was known for its dark humor and exploration of anxieties surrounding suburban life, quickly gaining a devoted following.
