From ‘The ‘Burbs’ Set, Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall React to That Bonkers Finale Reveal
[Editor’s note: The following contains major spoilers for the Peacock TV series The ‘Burbs.]
Summary
When you write about television and you love learning about what goes into the production of a TV show, there’s nothing like the experience of driving onto a studio lot and walking around outdoor and soundstage sets where you can tell every little detail has been thought about and discussed with multiple departments. On June 12, 2025, Collider (along with three other media outlets) got the opportunity to head over to the Universal Studios Hollywood back lot to visit the set of the Peacock series The ‘Burbs, starring Keke Palmer, who’s also an executive producer, and Jack Whitehall. The eight-episode whodunnit comedy from creator Celeste Hughey, inspired by the 1989 movie starring Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher, is set in present-day suburbia and follows a young couple who have reluctantly moved into the husband’s childhood home in the cul-de-sac he grew up in.
Samira (Palmer) and Rob Fisher (Whitehall) move onto a street that promises to be the safest place to live, but the quiet little neighborhood quickly proves to be much more as old secrets come to light and a sense of danger looms. A new neighbor moves into the creepy Victorian across the street, and Rob along with his best friend Naveen (Kapil Talwalkar) are reminded of someone they once knew. A trio of nosy but well-meaning neighbors – Lynn (Julia Duffy), Dana (Paula Pell), and Tod (Mark Proksch) – with secrets of their own help Samira and Rob get to the bottom of what’s going on in Hinkley Hills while also uncovering the fact that things may not be as safe as they’ve been told.
At a studio like Universal, next to the soundstages on the back lot are a variety of streets and locations that could be dressed to look like they’re anywhere, in any time period. While The ‘Burbs TV series and movie were shot in the same houses on Colonial Street, previously known as Mayfield Place, but now called Ashfield Place, nothing is an exact replica, helping establish the fact that this is not a sequel. Even so, there are Easter eggs and nods to the movie, as well as fun little details of their own that they’ve sprinkled throughout.
Joe Dante’s 1989 Movie ‘The ‘Burbs’ Inspired This Seth MacFarlane-Produced Mystery Series
All eight episodes of The ‘Burbs are now available to stream on Peacock, but executive producer Seth MacFarlane originally had the intention of making another movie when he first got the idea for the re-imagining. When he and his fellow Fuzzy Door EPs Erica Huggins and Aimee Carlson were discussing their favorite movies from that era, they realized that the cult favorite was definitely one of them.
“It was Covid, there wasn’t a lot happening, and he felt like maybe this was a movie you could make on the back lot at Universal with 25 people and get away with it,” said Huggins on set during a break from filming the season finale. Cut to a year later, we couldn’t get the deal done … Covid kept continuing on, and we all got busy with something else.”
But that wasn’t the end of it, and The ‘Burbs came back around after the strikes when they thought it might work better as a TV series. Added Huggins, “After Covid, there was the idea of neighborhoods, how you know your neighbors, and what your neighbors mean to you. Since we were all at home and walking the streets of our neighborhoods, creepy houses that have always felt like a little bit of a blight on those neighborhoods made you wonder, ‘Who’s in there? What’s in there?’ It heightened the paranoia from living through Covid.”
Once the idea was in place and they were ready to move forward with the TV series, the next to sign on was showrunner Hughey, who immediately knew Palmer was the only person that she could imagine as Samira. “It was important for me to tell a fish-out-of-water story about a Black woman and a new mother, and experience the world through her eyes,” she said. “[Keke] is the perfect person to do that.”
‘The ‘Burbs’ Movie and the TV Show Are Both of Their Time, With the Peacock Version Having More of a Modern Edge
While The ‘Burbs still has a creepy new neighbor in the foreboding Victorian on the opposite side of the street, they didn’t want to just do a repeat of the Klopeks from the movie. They also decided to reclaim the Munster mansion and transform it into the Victorian, as the Klopek house instead became a normal residence for Naveen. “Your way in is, ‘What is this new creepy family doing?,’” explained Carlson. “That’s a great engine for the season, but as it unfolds, we reveal new mysteries about the characters. That’s the beauty of a television show that you don’t get to do if you only have two hours. That’s where a lot of the fun surprises in the series come from.”
In case you were wondering, they did send movie director Joe Dante the script for the pilot and Huggins said that he loved it and was happy that somebody was doing something with it, and that he wished them well on their journey with it. Added Hughey, who also wrote the pilot, “1989 was a very different time in the country. There was a little bit more fear of the foreign … and the Klopeks were a foreign family that people were unsure of. Because of the Covid of it all, we’ve had to know our neighbors and understand and rely on each other. That was more the essence of our show and how we interact with the world now. It’s about trying to find common ground with everyone around you, which is possible.”
This time around, the creepy neighbor is Gary (Justin Kirk), whose odd and suspicious behavior sets off alarm bells for Samira as she starts to poke around. Thankfully, Samira isn’t alone in her interest in the cul-de-sac tea, and she’s quickly joined by Lynn (Duffy), who’s very familiar with the neighborhood’s history, Dana (Pell), a blunt and direct retired Marine, Tod (Proksch), who’s equal parts socially awkward and very observant.
“You don’t choose your neighbors,” said Carlson when talking about the ensemble surrounding Palmer. “It’s inherently diverse in who they are as people, but also their personalities. It’s everything you want in an ensemble show. They’re all really distinct from one another and those conflicts obviously drive a lot of comedy.”
Added Huggins, “The tribe of characters that we’ve built around Keke are unusual and interesting in their own right, and they are all carrying a secret that we reveal throughout this season. Not completely, but mostly. Things that get revealed along the way become part of their personalities and you understand the reasons why certain things are happening. The bigger bad in the show gets revealed in a way that’s very unexpected within the cul-de-sac. Each of our characters definitely has a personality that is connected to where they live and what their secret is.
The Love Between Samira and Rob Fisher Is at the Heart of ‘The ’Burbs’
The relationship between Samira and Rob is already established when we meet them, but because they’re in a new chapter of their lives, as parents, they’re still adjusting and figuring out what that means. “Especially as relatively new parents, that was something that we really related to,” Whitehall explained, with he and Palmer being parents themselves. “There’s a real richness and depth to the story that we’re telling with them.”
Palmer added, “They’re finding themselves again after having the baby. They did fall in love with each other and they did already have this history, but as new parents, that all goes down the drain once the baby comes. All of a sudden, you don’t know each other anymore. I do think we were able to have fun with that … Me and Jack healed, doing this.”
Walking around the set for the Fisher home, it was easy to get a sense of the love Samira and Rob have for each other, with all the photos scattered around. The details help create a relationship that brings the couple together in times of danger and helps them uncover what’s really going on in their neighborhood.
Executive Producers Huggins and Carlson knew immediately that Palmer and Whitehall were on the same page when it came to their characters. “It was just an instant connection,” said Huggins. “They had chemistry. You could feel they were jumping off each other’s humor and sensibilities, and it was really sweet.”
The natural ease Palmer and Whitehall found with each other easily translated to Samira and Rob. “There were so many conversations and arguments where we were like, ‘Oh, my God, I’ve literally said these words,’” said Whitehall. “It’s so brilliantly observed and relatable in such a wonderful way. It has this nuance and these different layers that are funny and touching.”
If Anyone Tells You That You’re Moving to the Safest Place To Live, You Should Find Somewhere Else To Go
When an unresolved mystery from Rob and Naveen’s past becomes a part of their lives again in the present, Samira has to work through her initial suspicions that they could somehow be involved. Whether it’s knowing her husband well enough to know that he isn’t a murderer or supporting his wife in a way that they can figure out the cul-de-sac mysteries together, Samira and Rob are going to discover who’s really responsible for whatever is going on in their neighborhood. And in the finale, with Naveen being driven off in the trunk of a member of the HOA, who’s responsible for keeping things safe in ways that are clearly very questionable, the series sets up new questions for a possible Season 2.
“[Samira’s] investigative work, thus far, has been pretty good, so I feel like we’re a good team now and we’ve got the support network of the found family of neighbors behind us,” Whitehall said during an interview with Collider at a junket to promote the series launch. “I think they stand a good chance of finding [Naveen] and rescuing him from the trunk of that car.”
In that same interview, Palmer added, “There are so many questions. Where the hell is Naveen? That’s number one. What are you hiding? The thing that you find out about Hinkley Hills, and the reason why it’s the safest town in America, is because people are hiding a lot of things about what happened there. It’s a constant unraveling of one lie to cover up the next lie.”
While ‘The ’Burbs’ Does Resolve Some of Its Mysteries, There Is More Story To Tell in a Possible Season 2
Expanding the ideas and themes of The ‘Burbs for a TV series means that there are still areas to explore moving forward. Getting some answers doesn’t mean you have all the answers, but Hughey has a sense of Season 2 and beyond. “We get to the end of the season with a big ah-ha of what we’ve been tracking through this particular season,” Huggins said during the set visit. “But something bigger comes up at the end that reveals a bigger problem. So, it’s a continuation of the same characters and some of the same storylines, but the end reveals a bigger problem that they have to tackle. It’s definitely meant to continue.”
Hughey added, “We reference Season 2 constantly. We’re like, ‘Okay, we’ll save that for Season 2. And then, we’re going to do this. And this character comes in then.’ Even on set, the cast was like, ‘Okay, in Season 2, we’ll do this.’ It’s not fully mapped out, but we know what the big bad is in the second season and what new adventures they’ll get into. We haven’t mapped it out for five years, but we can definitely see the vision for the next several seasons.”
Part of that vision for Hughey is adding neighbors to the cul-de-sac. “Some people will leave to make room for other characters. Some people can come back. Paula’s character, Dana, talks about her wife the whole season, and I’m hoping to have her come in next season.”
And if for some reason things don’t work out and they don’t get to move forward with a Season 2, Palmer and Whitehall have ideas for more Tom Hanks projects they could remake. “I would do Big,” declared Palmer. “But that’s one of the most popular, so it’s really bad to try to do that because you’re not going to do it. I would do a fake Big that’s called Small, so it reminds me of that, but it ain’t that.”
“Maybe Forest Gump 2,” added Whitehall. “There was a script that was written, apparently. I’d still be running.”
The ‘Burbs is available to stream on Peacock, where you can also watch the 1989 Joe Dante movie.

A single-engine plane made an emergency landing on a busy road in Georgia, striking three vehicles and leaving two people with minor injuries, authorities said, after one of the two pilots on board told air traffic controllers to let his wife and parents know he loved them.
The Hawker Beechcraft Bonanza landed Monday on Browns Bridge Road in Gainesville, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Atlanta. It was headed to Cherokee County Regional Airport in Canton from Gainesville’s Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport. The plane turned back after experiencing problems with the engine just after departure, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement.
The plane didn’t have enough power to make it to the airport. It landed on the road, the NTSB said.
“I think we’re not going to make it,” air traffic audio recorded by LiveATC.net said. “Please tell my wife, Molly, I love her, and my parents. I love them so much.”
More than 10 minutes later, “We’re going to be fine” is heard on the recording.
“We lost our engine taking off out of Gainesville,” pilot Thomas Rogers told WAGA-TV. “We tried to glide back, did everything by the book, but realized we weren’t going to make it back with how far out we were, so we came down on the road.”
The plane struck three cars, dislodging a fuel tank into one of them, Gainesville police Capt. Kevin Holbrook said. Two people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, he said.
“The fact that they were able to land in the middle of hundreds of vehicles and only hit three of them, no power lines is very remarkable,” Holbrook said, noting that the road is one of the main arteries through northeast Georgia. “The fact that no one was seriously injured or killed is just astonishing.”

Michael Keaton’s 2000s, R-Rated Comedy Thriller Is An Early Version Of His Most Important Film
By Robert Scucci
| Published
2014’s Birdman is one of my favorite Michael Keaton films for a number of reasons. The one-shot aesthetic allows for clever continuity tricks, and the self-referential meta humor about a washed up superhero actor trying to be taken seriously on stage instead of on the silver screen makes it a satisfying watch on every level. Keaton’s ability to toe the line as a man on the verge of a mental health crisis while taking on his most ambitious project is deadpan, darkly hilarious, and suicidally beautiful. Its ambiguous ending also makes it the perfect movie for repeat watches, since there are always pieces of subtext that slip by the first time, only to click into place later.
When I first stumbled upon 2005’s Game 6 on Tubi, I was enthralled by the synopsis because it reads like a proto version of Birdman, but with a much leaner and more grounded premise. Leaning into more conventional dramatic territory, it ends up being a solid watch on its own, while also feeling like a raw early draft of the kind of character Keaton would fully realize nearly a decade later.
If you reluctantly go into Game 6 expecting a second-rate Birdman, you’ll be relieved to find that both films stay firmly in their own lane. They share thematic DNA, but each has its own tone and personality, which makes them equally valid entries in Michael Keaton’s filmography rather than competing echoes of the same idea.
Not Riggan, But Rather Rogan
Michael Keaton plays Nicky Rogan in Game 6, a cynical but highly successful playwright living in New York City. Everyone in his inner circle insists that his new play will be his best work yet, largely because he’s leaning into more serious and less playful subject matter. The expectation is that this shift will cement his legacy as one of the leading playwrights of his generation. While his professional life appears to be riding high, the rest of his world is slowly falling apart. His marriage is collapsing under the weight of resentment and exhaustion with his soon-to-be ex-wife Lillian (Catherine O’Hara), and his relationship with his young adult daughter Laurel (Ari Graynor) is strained on its best day.
Family dynamics in Game 6 aside, Nicky is dealing with two additional problems that send him spiraling.
First, and most pressing, his best friend Elliot (Griffin Dunne) warns him that a potentially scathing review from notorious drama critic Steven Schwimmer (Robert Downey Jr.) could ruin his career. Elliot is a shell of his former self, having never recovered from a brutal review Schwimmer once wrote about him, and he blames that single piece of criticism for permanently derailing his reputation. Nicky becomes increasingly anxious that his own play will suffer a similar fate, especially since his lead actor Peter Redmond (Harris Yulin) is battling a brain parasite that causes him to forget his lines during rehearsals.
While Nicky should be focused entirely on getting his play through opening night without disaster, something else gnaws at him even more deeply than the fear of professional failure. It’s Game 6 of the World Series, and the Boston Red Sox are one win away from winning the championship. To anyone willing to listen, Nicky frames his entire outlook on life through his relationship with the Red Sox. By all logic, they should always win, yet somehow they always find a way to blow it at the last possible moment. That mindset defines him, despite the fact that his own career has been objectively successful up to this point.
In an attempt to make peace with himself and take pause before his play receives its first major reviews, Nicky skips his own premiere so he can watch the game and take stock of his life. His divorce is imminent, his professional reputation feels compromised, and the future he worked so hard to build suddenly feels uncertain. Egged on repeatedly by Elliot, he even begins to entertain the question of whether killing Schwimmer would somehow offer relief from the damage a single cruel voice can inflict on his legacy.
A Perfect Companion Piece To Birdman
Where Birdman places its emphasis on Riggan’s psychological collapse as the pressure of opening night mounts, Game 6 takes a more restrained and dramatic approach to similar material. Both films wrestle with the idea of legacy, but Game 6 focuses on a man who has already found success and is terrified that it might vanish without warning. Nicky is the human embodiment of the Boston Red Sox mentality. Successful until the moment he drops the ball, with that ever-present fear poisoning his ability to enjoy what he’s already earned.
Birdman centers on a former movie star attempting to reinvent himself on Broadway, pouring everything he has into a stage adaptation of Raymond Carver’s “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” while his personal life disintegrates. Game 6, on the other hand, follows a man who could comfortably retire tomorrow and still be remembered as a success, yet stands to lose everything that actually matters to him outside of his career. Both films examine insecurity through these very specific circumstances, but they take radically different stylistic paths as they play out. Game 6 plays its story straight, while Birdman unfolds like a fever dream.
The ideal way to experience Game 6, currently streaming for free on Tubi, is before revisiting Birdman. Watching them back to back highlights how the same actor can explore similar thematic ground from completely different angles. Together, they form an unintentional double feature that deepens appreciation for Keaton’s work, and Game 6 in particular feels like the missing link in his career that hints at his later masterpiece.

Nicolas Cage Steps Into the Shadows as Spider-Man in Spider-Noir : Coastal House Media
Marvel fans have spent the last few weeks dissecting every frame of the mysterious footage tied to Avengers: Doomsday, but according to the filmmakers behind the project, viewers may be approaching it all wrong.
“What you’ve been watching for the last four weeks… are not teasers. Or trailers. They are stories. They are clues… Pay attention.”
In recent comments, Russo Brothers made it clear that what fans are calling trailers are not trailers at all. Instead, they described the footage as intentional clues designed to spark speculation, reward close viewing, and quietly set the stage for what is shaping up to be one of Marvel’s most ambitious chapters yet.
Rather than traditional marketing beats that outline plot, characters, or tone, the Russos say these videos are closer to puzzle pieces. Every image, sound cue, and edit is meant to be questioned.

Not a Trailer. A Warning.
According to the brothers, Avengers: Doomsday is being positioned differently than past Marvel releases. They want audiences thinking long before opening night. That means misdirection, symbolism, and information that may not make sense until much later.
The Russos emphasized that fans should not expect clear answers right now. If anything, the confusion is the point. The footage is meant to provoke theories rather than confirm them.
That approach lines up with how Marvel has quietly shifted its promotional strategy in the multiverse era. Instead of spelling things out, the studio is leaning into fan engagement, online debate, and long burn mystery.
The Clues Are in the Details
The directors encouraged viewers to look past surface level moments and focus on smaller details. Background imagery. Color choices. Dialogue fragments that seem out of place. Even what is missing from the footage may be just as important as what is shown.
Chris Hemsworth and India Rose Hemsworth [credit: Marvel Studios]
Fans have already begun connecting these clues to past MCU events, alternate timelines, and unresolved storylines from earlier phases. Some believe the footage hints at fractured realities colliding. Others think it is teasing a darker moral conflict at the heart of the film.
The Russos have not confirmed any theories, but they did say that attentive fans are already closer to the truth than they realize.
A Different Kind of Marvel Build Up
This cryptic rollout also reflects the scale of what Marvel is attempting. Avengers: Doomsday is expected to redefine the MCU moving forward, much like Infinity War and Endgame did before it. The Russos seem intent on recreating that sense of anticipation, but with a more cerebral twist.
Instead of hype driven spectacle, they are inviting fans into a conversation. One where speculation, rewatches, and theory threads are part of the experience.
As the Russos put it, the story has already started. It just isn’t being told in the usual way.
And if they are right, every so called trailer so far is less about selling tickets and more about asking a question.
What do you think Marvel is really trying to tell us?
One thing is certain. When Marvel Studios finally pulls the curtain back, fans who paid attention early may be the ones saying they saw it coming.

Amanda Tapping’s most well-known role is as Colonel Samantha Carter in the Stargate franchise, but after Stargate SG-1 finished, she went on to star in the SyFy original monster-hunting series, Sanctuary. As Helen Magnus, she was the head of a global network of secret facilities designed to house, treat, and study “abnormals.”
This meant a lot of running around after large, terrifying monsters, which is why the Season 1 episode, “Instinct,” works so well. Shot in the style of a found-footage horror movie, “Instinct” shows how a single encounter with an abnormal can be life-altering, and oh yes, when you don’t know what’s going on, the entire Sanctuary team comes off as being completely insane.
By now, fans had seen Helen’s team in action: Will (Robin Dunne) is the new guy, a forensic psychiatrist and her protege, Henry (Ryan Robbins) is the tech guy and also a werewolf, while Ashley (Emille Ullerup) is Helen’s daughter (that always immediately raises questions when people find out) and the most accomplished fighter of the group. Seeing them through the perspective of TV weather girl Amy (Rekha Sharma) and her cameraman, Zach (Matty Finochio), turns the usual Sanctuary viewing experience on its head. After the two bystanders wander into a warehouse with a trapped monstrous abnormal inside, they learn of a world of myths and monsters that’s always been around them, and while Zach is impressed, Amy thinks this is the story that will make her career.
“Instinct” opens with the two groups running into each other and trying to find a way to coexist as Amy tries to get answers about the Sanctuary from the team, and Zach wants to get out in one piece. In one of the best moments, Zach is trying to eavesdrop on the team using the camera, when he hears Helen say that the monster is right behind him. Panicked, he turns around, sees nothing, turns back, and Helen is right there to chastise him for listening in.
After learning that the abnormal is a typically docile ancient Japanese beetle, they calm down until the lights go out, and we get the horror-movie shot of the abnormal lurking in the darkness, right over Helen’s shoulder. The head-on steadicam shots make “Instinct” look unlike any other episode of Sanctuary, and the episode takes full advantage of it by going for jumpscares whenever possible.
Sanctuary Was Ahead Of Its Time
Sanctuary was usually shot in a large, open studio with no real sets. Those were digitally added in later. For “Instinct,” the crew used an old Volvo warehouse, which gave the episode a cramped, claustrophobic feel. Intentionally shot to look like a single, continuous take, the episode was actually 40 long shots spliced together, but if you’ve seen any found-footage movies, you can tell where the splices happen.
Even though the series ran for four seasons, Sanctuary stayed under the radar the whole time, which is a shame, as it includes one of the strangest versions of Tesla, a vampire in the world of the series, and the best Jack the Ripper (Helen’s estranged husband). As expected for a show starring Amanda Tapping while she was moonlighting on Stargate Atlantis, there’s plenty of references to that other franchise, including Michael Shanks making a guest appearance, and in “Instinct,” an ARG prop is repurposed as a sonic gun.
Sanctuary’s quality level varies wildly from season to season, but “Instinct” is an early highlight for the show before it loses itself in its own mythology. Paying tribute to Cloverfield gave fans a chance to see the team a bit differently and to have some fun by seeing how insane Helen’s explanations behind abnormals sound when removed from the context of the Sanctuary itself. If you’ve never given the show a chance, fire it up on Tubi and let the familiar feeling of Canadian sci-fi wash over you.

President Trump
Told Cops ‘Everyone’ Knew About Epstein’s Crimes in 2006 …
Later Denied Knowledge
Published
Donald Trump told cops “everyone” knew about Jeffrey Epstein‘s evil acts with underage girls … this according to an official FBI report.
The report — several of the millions of Epstein document pages released by Trump’s Department of Justice in recent weeks — lays out the Palm Beach Police Department’s investigation into the financier during the early 2000s.
While the document is heavily redacted, it’s a 2019 interview with former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, who confirmed as much to the Miami Herald.
At one point, Trump apparently called PBPD — Reiter says this was in 2006, around the time Epstein was arrested and charged with a state-level solicitation of prostitution charge — and said, “‘Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this.”
He specifically mentions Epstein’s association with underage girls … telling cops “he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present and Trump ‘got the hell out of there.’”
Trump also pointed the finger at “evil” Ghislaine Maxwell … calling her an “operative” of Epstein’s and telling cops to focus on her.
This new report seemingly contradicts claims DJT made in 2019. When reporters asked him if he knew anything about Epstein’s crimes before his arrest, POTUS replied, “No, I had no idea. I had no idea.”
Despite Reiter’s claims, an FBI official told the Herald “We are not aware of any corroborating evidence that the President contacted law enforcement 20 years ago.”
We’ve reached out to the White House for comment … they referred us to the DOJ, which has already announced no further charges are expected in the Epstein investigation.
