“The ‘Burbs” TV series adaptation at Peacock has cast five series regulars, Variety has learned.
Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar have all been cast in the series version of the 1989 dark comedy of the same name.
In addition, Nzingha Stewart has boarded the show as an executive producer and will direct the first episode.
The new additions join previously announced lead Keke Palmer in the show, which was picked up straight-to-series at Peacock in September 2024.
The official logline for the show states, “Set in present-day suburbia, ‘The ‘Burbs’ follows 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, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.”
Celeste Hughey will adapt the film for television and executive produce.
