Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to The ‘Burbs, a contemporary series adaptation of the 1989 Universal Pictures horror-comedy film of the same name. Celeste Hughey (Palm Royale, Dead to Me) is writing and executive producing the mystery comedy series which will star Keke Palmer (Nope, Password), also an executive producer on the project from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Seth MacFarlane (Ted), Erica Huggins and Aimee Carlson executive produce for Fuzzy Door under the company’s UCP overall deal alongside Brian Grazer, Kristen Zolner and Natalie Berkus for Imagine Entertainment, which produced the 1989 movie. Dana Olsen, the writer of the film directed by Joe Dante, will serve as co-executive producer on the series.

Set in present-day suburbia, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple — with Palmer playing the wife — returning to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when new neighbors move in next door, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.

The series will film in Los Angeles at the same location as the original 1989 film, the backlot of Universal Studios Hollywood.

There's a reason why they used to keep female writers & leads well away from all of the best movies that came out in the hollywood golden age (70s - early 90s) when they made their best films, and that's because all they do is write substandard scripts which are boring and uninteresting, which is then compounded by casting an unlikable female lead, which is why everything is shit today.

I completely disagree. There are good films, old and new, that are written by and/or starring women. There have been lots of likeable female leads. There are plenty of crappy films now, some of which are written by and starring men and some written by and starring women. It's ridiculous to blame women for all the bad movies.

INDEED

She clearly is talented and the show hasn't come out yet, so you can't say she ruined it. It might be good and even if it ends up being awful, I doubt that it will be her fault.
