Keke Palmer is headed to the suburbs. The Nope actress is set to star in a serialized adaptation of Joe Dante’s 1989 black comedy The ‘Burbs for Peacock in a straight-to-series order. The new take on the Tom Hanks cult classic is coming to life with the help of Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door Productions, along with Brian Grazer and Dana Olsen, who worked on the original film. Dante made a plea via Twitter for someone to call him, but there’s no word yet on whether or not anyone’s picked up the phone. 

Meanwhile, it seems like George Clooney and Brad Pitt just don’t know how to quit each other — or the Ocean’s franchise. As the duo promotes their new comedy thriller Wolfs, talk of a new Ocean’s installment has grown louder. The Warner Bros. caper, which is being actively developed by Clooney’s production banner Smokehouse Pictures, is said to be courting Oscar-winning director Edward Berger to take the reins from Steven Soderbergh. Should the All Quiet on the Western Front director be tapped for the project, it would mark the first Ocean’s heist without Soderbergh involved. 

And per usual, the comedians on the timeline are stealing a few laughs with their hysterical tweets. Today’s funniest include those about a hobby fit for Garfield, the journey of the immortal crumb and a chicken that died for nothing.
