Jack Whitehall is currently starring in The âBurbs, a new show for Sky with Keke Palmer. It's set on an eerily perfect suburban street â complete with white picket fences and manicured lawns â onto which a new young couple move. Everything, of course, is not as it seems. It is a rich and familiar premise. A sort of funhouse mirror of our everyday surroundings. Donât we all suspect, in some way, that there are dark secrets lurking among our pretty streets?â
â
âOh, there always is,â says Jack, in our cover interview for this month. âMaybe itâs not murder, as is the case in The âBurbs. But thereâs scandal on every street. And the nicer the street is, the more skeletons there are in peopleâs closets â and the more theyâre trying to keep up appearances, to project something to the rest of the neighborhood,â he says. âI remember when I was growing up, in my pretty fancy suburb of Putney, there was so much scandal. We had one neighbor that ran off with another neighbor â they had this insane affair and then they had to leave. There was another one who was caught having some sort of sexual dalliance on Putney Common and the wife found out â and that was just two of our nearby neighborsâŚââ
