Mystery-comedy series, The ‘Burbs, will continue its exclusive residence on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK and Ireland, following renewal for a second season.  

Inspired by Imagine Entertainment’s 1989 horror-comedy film of the same name and set in present-day suburbia, season one of The ’Burbs follows a young couple (Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall) who have reluctantly relocated to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when a new neighbour 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 neighbourhood. The series also stars Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch and Kapil Talwalkar.

Celeste Hughey serves as creator, writer and executive producer of the first season, alongside writer and executive producer Rachel Shukert and director and executive producer Nzingha Stewart. Executive producers on season one also include Keke Palmer, Seth MacFarlane, Erica Huggins, Aimee Carlson for Fuzzy Door, Brian Grazer, Kristen Zolner and Natalie Berkus for Imagine Entertainment, and co-executive producer Dana Olsen.

The ‘Burbs is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. The deal with NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution was negotiated by Lucy Criddle.
