With the newly released teaser sparking early buzz around the show’s blend of dark humor, paranoia, and suspense, Kyrie emerges as one of the exciting young faces to watch as the world of The ’Burbs unfolds. Kyrie will star in the show alongside Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall ((Jungle Cruise, The Afterparty), Julia Duffy (Palm Royale, Newhart), Paula Pell (Girls5eva, Saturday Night Live), and more! The show premieres on Peacock, February 8, 2026! A reimagining of the 1989 cult classic, The ’Burbs follows a couple whose idyllic new life is quickly disrupted by strange neighbors, unexplained disappearances, and the creeping suspicion that something sinister lurks beneath the surface of their quiet street.
The first-look teaser, showcasing eerie late-night sightings, neighborhood secrets, and Keke Palmer’s gripping lead performance, positions the series as one of Peacock’s standout releases of early 2026. Kyrie’s role adds a youthful perspective to the show’s tension, offering humor, heart, and moments of levity that punctuate the unfolding chaos. Beyond The ’Burbs, Kyrie is already carving out a remarkable career.
She currently multi-recurs on ABC’s hit drama “Will Trent” and has built an impressive resume across television and film, including standout roles in Nickelodeon’s “The Loud House,” Disney+’s “Cheaper by the Dozen,” with Gabriela Union and Zack Braff and the Oscar-nominated feature, Hidden Figures. Her performances are consistently praised for their warmth, comedic instincts, and natural emotional depth, a rare combination that continues to set her apart among young emerging leading ladies!
Kyrie was nominated for a Children’s & Family Emmy Award in the category Outstanding Younger Voice Performer in an Animated or Preschool Animated Program for her work voicing “Emma” on “Doug Unplugs.” Off-screen, Kyrie is a budding fashion designer whose creativity and self-expression extend far beyond acting. As her profile rises, she is quickly becoming a Gen Z multi-hyphenate with a compelling blend of artistic ambition, personality, and style.
