After the worldwide success of Stranger Things, Netflix ordered The Boroughs from the creators. A new series very familiar but which also promises to be surprising.
Stranger Things, like other Netflix productions like Wednesday, broke incredible records according to the criteria of the firm at N rouge. And when success is there, a society never lets those responsible for it slip away.
Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of the television show which tells the story of a band confronted with fantastic phenomena, have therefore resigned to extend the universe by creating the Stranger Things Cinematic Universe but also for other things. One of the projects, The Boroughs – which will be a new SF series -, is starting to get talked about with interesting details about its background and plot.
The Boroughs, the new Netflix SF series on pension reform
After blowing up Netflix counters with Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers announced The Boroughs. A science fiction series produced by the duo on an idea of Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. Connoisseurs of the red N platform since they were at the origin of Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. A show canceled from the first season, like so many other programs on the SVOD service.
The scenario will not deal with pension reform… but its main protagonists will indeed be elderly characters. Alternate versions of Hawkins’ children in an unlikely multiverse? No, but like them, the members of the senior citizens’ club will have to stick together to survive a threat from another world. “In a seemingly picturesque retirement community set in the New Mexico desert, a group of unexpected heroes must band together to prevent an otherworldly threat from shuttering the one thing they don’t. don’t have… the time” via Variety. Well in fact, it still looks like pension reform in Netflix mode.
The Duffer Brothers are completely enthralled by this concept which he considers to be “special”, in addition to being fans of the work of Jeff Addiss and Will Matthews.
We’ve been fans of Jeff and Will’s writing for a long time, and when they pitched us their idea for The Boroughs, we immediately knew they had something very special on their hands. While the heroes of The Boroughs are a few years older than the kids of Stranger Things, they’re just as lovable and misfits, and we can’t wait for you to join them on an adventure that’s both scary and fun, and deeply touching.

The many projects around Stranger Things
A mutual feeling? Perfectly. Collaborating with the creators of Strangers Things is a ” dream come true “ for Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. And despite Dark Crystal’s cancellation, they don’t hold a grudge against Netflix for aborting the series without giving it a second chance.
We are happy to be back at Netflix. Working alongside the Duffer Brothers (who are pretty good at making sets), and their team, is a dream come true. They provide the perfect balance of heart and horror to our story. We can’t wait for viewers everywhere to uncover the dark mystery hidden behind The Boroughs’ sunny facade.
Before the release, Netflix subscribers should be able to watch Season 5 of Stranger Things, which will be the last. In the next few months, even years, we will also have an animated series Stranger Things: Tokyo and a spin-off in the form of a play. Matt and Ross Duffer will also bring their vision on a very famous manga, Death Note, with a live-action series again for Netflix. An inseparable trio.
