Peacock has dropped the highly intriguing (and slightly mischievous) first teaser trailer for The ’Burbs, a modern remake of the beloved 1980s comedy classic originally headlined by Tom Hanks and Bruce Dern. This time, the quirky chaos of suburbia has been reimagined as a glossy, present-day thriller-comedy series—because apparently the cul-de-sac still has skeletons in its perfectly trimmed hedges.
The new series follows a young couple who return to the husband’s childhood home only to have their peaceful dreams squashed when new neighbors move in next door. Instead of friendly block parties and shared lawn tools, the duo is greeted with mysterious behavior, long-buried secrets, and deadly threats lurking behind picket fences. The teaser leans into the suspense with the ominous question: “Which one of us is the murderer…?”—delivered with a dark wink that honors the bizarre charm of the original.
If curiosity alone doesn’t pull viewers in, the cast certainly will. The ensemble features Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar, alongside an impressive lineup of guest stars including Haley Joel Osment, RJ Cyler, Justin Kirk, and Kyrie McAlpine. Their comedic timing combined with thriller elements promises a blend of laughs, paranoia, and cul-de-sac chaos.
While some may scratch their heads at yet another remake—especially after last year’s Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead reboot—this updated Burbs brings a fresh flavor to the classic setup. The teaser hints at a fun mix of satire, suspense, and exaggerated suburban drama that might just win over both nostalgic fans and curious newcomers.
Set to premiere on Peacock in early February, The ’Burbs remake invites audiences to step back onto the quiet street where nothing is truly quiet… and every neighbor has something to hide. Whether you dive into the new version or rewatch the original, one thing is certain: suburbia has never been so suspiciously entertaining.
