Peacock Renews The 'Burbs; ABC's Drama Hits Get 2026-27 Renewals

Peacock has renewed its hit comedy series The 'Burbs for a second season. Inspired by the 1989 horror-comedy film of the same name and set in present-day suburbia, The 'Burbs follows a young couple 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.

Series regulars: Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, Kapil Talwalkar.

ABC has handed out renewals to two of its top hits...which is not a surprise at all, but more of a formality. Psst... did you hear the news? 👀 Will Trent returns for an all-new season! Spread the word — or Betty will. 🐾 You're going to want to buckle up for this one 😏 The Rookie will return for a new season!

Based on Karin Slaughter's New York Times bestselling Will Trent series, Special Agent Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) was abandoned at birth and endured a harsh coming-of-age in Atlanta's overwhelmed foster care system. Now, Will uses his unique point of view in the pursuit of justice and has the highest clearance rate in the GBI. Will Trent stars Ramón Rodríguez as Will Trent, Erika Christensen as Angie Polaski, Iantha Richardson as Faith Mitchell, Jake McLaughlin as Michael Ormewood, Kevin Daniels as Franklin Wilks, with Sonja Sohn as Amanda Wagner.

John Nolan, once the oldest rookie in the LAPD, now uses his life experience, determination and sense of humor to keep up with rookies 20+ years his junior. John and the team must navigate the intense, unpredictable nature of their jobs and personal challenges, while uplifting the next generation of first responders. The Rookie stars Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper, Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez, Richard T. Jones as Wade Grey, Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen, Eric Winter as Tim Bradford, Jenna Dewan as Bailey Nune, Shawn Ashmore as Wesley Evers, Lisseth Chavez as Celina Juarez and Deric Augustine as Miles Penn.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

• Roku has added some new channels, including 24/7 channels for The Bernie Mac Show, Blossom, and Cougar Town. (Cord Cutters News)

Peacock's The 'Burbs Trailer; The Jeff Foxworthy Show Launch Back on COZI TV

Peacock has released the trailer and lots of artwork for the mystery half-hour comedy series The 'Burbs. Inspired by the 1989 horror-comedy film of the same name and set in present-day suburbia, The 'Burbs follows a young couple 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.

All eight episodes of The 'Burbs premiere Sunday, February 8 only on Peacock. Starring Executive Producer Keke Palmer. Seth MacFarlane will also executive produce. Series Regulars: Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar.

It's finally here! The delayed launch of The Jeff Foxworthy Show on COZI TV actually launched this past weekend on Friday at Midnight/11C. It was pulled last second and then reinstated pretty quickly, too, without much advanced notice. And you can catch it every weekend - that's Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays - from Midnight to 2am ET.

Originally airing from 1995 to 1997, The Jeff Foxworthy Show chronicles the adventures of a Southern family man adjusting to life in Indiana before returning to his Georgia roots. Across its 41 episodes, the series showcases Foxworthy’s signature humor, earning him the People’s Choice Award in 1996.

The sitcom boasts an impressive supporting cast, including Bill Engvall, Debra Jo Rupp and Jay Mohr, alongside Haley Joel Osment and Jonathan Lipnicki. After its original run, the series found a second life in syndication and now, COZI TV is giving it a new home for fans old and new.
