Everything We Know About Netflix’s The Boroughs
The Boroughs is an upcoming eight-episode supernatural drama mystery series created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews – the creators of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance – for Netflix.
It was announced under the label of Upside Down Pictures, which was announced last year as a collaboration with Netflix that would allow the Duffer Brothers to spearhead and develop a variety of new projects for the streaming platform.
Among them is an upcoming spin-off of Stranger Things, a live-action adaptation of the popular anime-manga series Death Note, and more.
The Boroughs were endorsed and supported by the Duffer Brothers and will include eight episodes starring a new cast of characters that will likely remind viewers of the cast of Stranger Things.
The official description for Netflix’s The Boroughs reads:
In a seemingly picturesque retirement community in the New Mexico desert, a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have… time.
“We’re thrilled to be back at Netflix. Working alongside the Duffer Brothers (who are pretty good at making shows) and their team has been a dream come true,” Addiss and Matthews said in a statement.
“They bring the perfect balance of heart and horror to our story. We can’t wait for audiences around the world to unlock the dark mystery buried beneath the sunny facade of The Boroughs.”
An official release window for The Boroughs has not been shared at this time, but more information is expected to be shared very soon.
