Peacock is bringing some fresh faces to The ’Burbs, and Keke Palmer's suburban nightmare is about to get a little more crowded. Daniel Ezra (All American), Retta (Good Girls, Parks and Recreation) and Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) are joining the hit series as recurring guest stars for Season 2.

There's also good news for RJ Cyler, who has been promoted to series regular. Cyler returns as Langston, the younger brother of Palmer's Samira, and his expanded role means we'll be seeing a lot more of their entertaining sibling dynamic when the series returns.

The new additions join Elizabeth Hurley, who was previously announced as a series regular, alongside returning stars Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch and Kapil Talwalkar. Peacock is keeping details about the newcomers' characters under wraps, which makes their arrival even more intriguing considering how many secrets this neighborhood already has.

Inspired by the 1989 horror-comedy film, The ’Burbs follows Samira and her husband Rob (Whitehall), whose move to his childhood home turns into more trouble than they bargained for. What initially looks like a quiet suburban community becomes a hotbed of suspicious neighbors, buried secrets and deadly discoveries.

The series has plenty of fun with its eccentric characters and increasingly ridiculous neighborhood drama, while Palmer's comedic timing makes Samira's determination to uncover the truth all the more entertaining. With several new cast members entering the picture, Season 2 could have even more surprises waiting behind those perfectly maintained lawns.

Celeste Hughey returns as creator, showrunner and executive producer, alongside Palmer, Seth MacFarlane, Erica Huggins and Aimee Carlson.

Peacock has yet to announce a Season 2 premiere date. In the meantime, all eight episodes of The ’Burbs Season 1 are streaming on Peacock.
