Peacock’s new horror comedy is so good, it’s already renewed for season 2
Peacock's horror-comedy reboot 'The 'Burbs' has been greenlit for a second season following strong audience reception since its February debut. The series drew over 1.7 billion minutes of viewer engagement and consistently placed within Nielsen's top 10 streaming originals, prompting executives to commit to continuation despite the first season only recently concluding.
The show reimagines the 1989 film through a contemporary lens, following Keke Palmer's character as a Black woman navigating a predominantly white suburban neighbourhood alongside her family. Though production details for season 2 remain limited, the creative team—led by showrunner Celeste Hughey and featuring producer Seth MacFarlane from the original film—has indicated the protagonist will evolve beyond her initial outsider status. Audiences may expect a late-2027 release based on previous production timelines.
