The ’Burbs is officially coming back for Season 2.
Peacock has renewed the breakout suburban mystery-comedy starring and executive produced by Keke Palmer, just two months after its high-profile Super Bowl Sunday debut.
Inspired by the 1989 horror-comedy film of the same name, the series follows a young couple—played by Palmer and Jack Whitehall—who relocate to his childhood home in a seemingly quiet suburb, only to uncover dark secrets when a mysterious new neighbor moves in.
The ensemble cast also includes Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar with additional appearances from RJ Cyler and more. Season 1 was created by Celeste Hughey, with executive production from Palmer, Seth MacFarlane, Imagine Entertainment, and others.
The series launched on Feb. 8 with all eight episodes dropping immediately after being heavily promoted during the big game across NBC and Peacock. That strategy paid off in a major way: the show recorded Peacock’s highest Day 1 performance ever for a scripted original.
Since its premiere, The ’Burbs has amassed more than 1.7 billion viewing minutes domestically (about 28.3 million hours) and spent four consecutive weeks in Nielsen’s U.S. Originals Top 10, peaking at No. 2—an especially strong showing for a comedy with shorter episode runtimes.
Peacock praised the show’s performance and creative team, with Lisa Katz noting they were “so thrilled that audiences loved season one” and eager to return to Hinkley Hills for more chaos, comedy, and suburban twists.
