Welcome back to the neighborhood! Today, Michael and Diane dive into Peacock’s brand‑new reimagining of The ’Burbs — a mystery‑comedy series starring Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall that brings suburban paranoia into 2026 with fresh energy and cultural depth.

Created by Celeste Hughey and inspired by the 1989 Tom Hanks film, the series follows Samira and Rob as they move into his childhood home… only to discover their quiet street is hiding long‑buried secrets. With a cast that includes Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar, the show blends nostalgia, humor, and suspense in all the right ways .
