Netflix cancels The Boroughs after one season

tvJun 17, 202618102

Netflix canceled The Boroughs after one season, removing the Duffer Brothers produced sci‑fi mystery from its slate. Created and showrun by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, the series followed a cast of retirement‑community misfits battling an otherworldly threat that steals people’s time. Netflix’s decision leaves the season finale unresolved and denies closure for the major cliffhanger ending. The abrupt end matters because the Duffer Brothers’ involvement and the show’s serialized premise promised further storylines that will now remain unexplored.

On the one hand, it did feel like The Boroughs had successfully told its story and might struggle to reinvent itself for a second season. On the other, I really enjoyed watching these actors play these characters. www.whatsalanwatching.com/review-the-b...

THE BOROUGHS has been cancelled. After just one season, Netflix has pulled the plug on the sci-fi/horror series from producers the Duffer Brothers. In the series, retirement community misfits must stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don't have: time.

I thought they wrapped it up. Not everything needs more than one season.

Netflix Cancels the Duffer Brothers Series ‘The Boroughs’ After One Season www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/n... This is why “viewing” data that gets released is pretty worthless. There are other metrics to that streamers deem more important (and never make public) when making decisions! 👇👇👇

The Boroughs has ranked on Netflix's weekly top 10 since its release. Just last week it was number eight among English-language TV, the fourth straight time the show charted. But Netflix (basically) said, "Don't let the door hit you on your way to Paramount anyway.
