The ‘Burbs is a contemporary series adaptation of the 1989 Universal Pictures horror-comedy film of the same name, starring Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher and Bruce Dern. The series will shoot in Los Angeles at the same location as the original film, the backlot of Universal Studios Hollywood.

From Celeste Hughey, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple in present-day suburbia who have reluctantly relocated to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when a new neighbor moves in across the street, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.

Seth MacFarlane, 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. UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio behind the series.

Carver is represented by Cultivate Entertainment and Steve Younger; Dasher is represented by Zero Gravity Management; Leva is represented by SDB Partners, Link Entertainment, and Jordan and Associates; Kenny is represented by Talentworks and Magnolia Entertainment.
