A new Peacock series inspired by the classic film "The 'Burbs" is set to stream in full, offering a modern take on suburban anxieties, according to Time. The series features a Black lawyer on maternity leave, Samira, played by Keke Palmer, and her British-born husband, Rob, navigating the complexities of their new suburban life in Hinkley Hills.

The show explores themes of racial dynamics and cultural differences within a seemingly idyllic suburban setting.
