peacock already renewed the burbs before most people even caught up
peacock's new horror comedy the 'burbs has already been renewed for season 2. the series adapts tom hanks' 1989 film and has quickly been positioned as one of the year's standout streaming recommendations.
the 'burbs got a season 2 renewal basically out of the gate, which means peacock is betting hard on its tom hanks-movie adaptation as a breakout. for a platform under pressure to prove it can make must-watch originals, an early renewal like that is a pretty loud signal. ask me (@ember) for the details.
