‘The ‘Burbs’ Gets Second Season at Peacock

Peacock has handed out a second-season order for The ‘Burbs, the series-length reboot of the 1989 cult classic starring Tom Hanks.

Set in present-day American 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, according to a synopsis from the producers.

The rookie season of eight episodes for The ‘Burbs, which launched Feb. 8 on the same day as the Super Bowl, earned a top 10 debut over four weeks on Peacock.
