Keke Palmer it goes very well with his return to television through adaptation The Burbs movie in a program, which has arrived with some changes on the screen.
“I feel like the last time I did TV was (Scream Queens), which was 10 years ago,” Palmer, 32, said exclusively. Us Weekly before The ‘Burbs opens on Sunday, February 8. “This is crazy.”
Palmer he credited black comedy to prepare her for a murder mystery with a great cast, adding, “It’s so great to be surrounded by this great cast. Everyone is so funny and crazy in real life and on the show.”
The slasher series, which premiered in 2015, starred an ensemble cast that included Palmer, Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Billie Lourd, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin i Glen Powell. During the show’s first season, Scream Queens centered on members of the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority who were being murdered by the mysterious Red Devil assassin.

While The ‘Burbs of the film when it was a small-town mystery, there were also attempts to revitalize the premise.
“Obviously, when Seth MacFarlane, Brian Grazer and Celeste Hughey came to me, they had already made the decision to remake one of these big IPs. So I remember coming to them like, ‘What’s this going to be like?’ I wasn’t familiar with the original, so I had to dig into that,” Palmer recalled. “Then when I read the script, I was really intrigued. Because there’s always that when the remake happens, especially when it’s focused not only on changing the genre, but also the background. You’re like, ‘How much does that play into it and is this cliché? Or on the surface, what will that story be?”
He continued: He knew from the pilot that he was much further below the surface than he expected. So when I had that first meeting with them, it was this really interesting approach where we’re talking about racial tensions and motherhood and being a new couple as we try to get out of that first phase of having a little one. There are strange neighbors and people who shouldn’t get along. But as the series progresses, you use the comedy and horror genre. There is only the heart at the core, which allows the viewer to take a journey to understand things and see things differently. That’s the kind of work I like to do.”
The ‘Burbs is currently streaming on Peacock.
