We love Tom Hanks' 1989 cult classic comedy film The 'Burbs. We love Emmy Award-winning actress Keke Palmer (Nope, Password). Personally, that's all we need to know to check out Peacock and EPs Palmer, Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy), and Brian Grazer's (Empire, Arrested Development) mystery/comedy series when the eight-episode season arrives on Sunday, February 8th. But just in case you might need more convincing, we have a look at the official teaser and preview images to help make our case. Created by Celeste Hughey (Palm Royale, Dead to Me), the series follows a young couple (Palmer and Jack Whitehall) in present-day suburbia, whose world is upended when a new neighbor moves in across the street, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light. Joining Palmer and Whitehall in the ensemble cast are Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwakar. Check out our best look yet at the upcoming series above, and the image gallery that was released below:
