As a die-hard fan who grew up with the Duffer Brothers’ masterpieces, I can hardly contain my excitement for their next venture: The Boroughs! After binge-watching the Upside Down shenanigans of Hawkins, Indiana, I’m eager to embark on another spine-tingling adventure in this creative duo’s repertoire.
I’m absolutely thrilled as a devoted admirer of the Duffer Brothers and their popular show “Stranger Things”. Their upcoming Netflix production titled “The Boroughs” has me eagerly anticipating its premiere, given our rollercoaster journey through Hawkins, Indiana. The prospect of embarking on another supernatural escapade from the Duffers is making each day feel longer until its release.
I’d like to share what we currently understand about the upcoming eight-part dramatic series, “The Boroughs“. This captivating tale is bound to resonate deeply with viewers such as myself.
The Boroughs synopsis
Picture this: A tranquil senior living area hidden within the New Mexico desert, where seniors peacefully spend their golden years. Seems serene, doesn’t it? But that calmness is about to be shattered! In “The Boroughs,” a group of residents face an ominous and enigmatic threat that not only jeopardizes their small town but the entire planet. That’s right, they have the responsibility to save us all.
As a fan, I’m really looking forward to the Duffer Brothers presenting an original twist in their storytelling. Instead of the usual teenagers embarking on adventures, they might opt for a group of elderly individuals uniting against evil forces. This deviation from the norm is what makes it intriguing. It offers a refreshing take on the genre, blending elements of emotion, wit, and undeniably chilling supernatural elements.
Here’s the official logline via Netflix:
In a seemingly picturesque retirement community, a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have… time.
If you enjoyed the character-focused storyline and deep emotions portrayed in Stranger Things, then The Boroughs will definitely appeal to you.
The Duffer Brothers themselves have referred to it as having the essence of “Cocoon,” a popular ’80s film about a band of older individuals who stumble upon an alien power that revitalizes them. Essentially, it’s an emotionally charged sci-fi journey, and we know from their previous work how skillfully the Duffers blend supernatural aspects with deeply human tales.
In addition, the creative duo behind “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance,” Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, will breathe life into “The Boroughs.” Given the extraordinary fantasy storytelling in their previous work, it’s reasonable to expect that “The Boroughs” will feature intricate world-building, meticulous attention to detail, and captivating plot developments.
Who stars in the new series?
If you’re a fan of shows that focus on teenagers, similar to “Stranger Things”, then “The Boroughs” offers something entirely fresh yet equally engaging.
Based on current information, it’s shaping up to offer a blend of humor and emotional depth, along with the supernatural suspense that the Duffers are renowned for. Instead of the ’80s suburban setting of Stranger Things, this new production is set in a retirement community in New Mexico, offering a unique atmosphere. Despite the change of scenery, I’m confident it will captivate us just as effectively.
Netflix’s Tudum shared the cast list that’s full of familiar faces:
- Alfred Molina as Sam
- Geena Davis as Renee
- Alfre Woodard as Judy
- Denis O’Hare as Wally
- Clarke Peters as Art
- Bill Pullman as Jack
- Jena Malone as Claire
- Carlos Miranda as Paz
- Seth Numrich as Blaine
- Alice Kremelberg as Anneliese
According to the Duffers, this band of unconventional heroes finds themselves battling something far greater than themselves – a plot twist that resonates deeply with me, as it’s the essence of an underdog tale I adore. The anticipation is palpable as these unexpected action stars step up to the challenge and strive to turn the tide in their favor, ultimately saving the day.
Filming began in September 2024
The project was unveiled back in early 2023, and although we don’t have a specific launch date as of now, production started in September 2024. I’d wager that it will probably air sometime around 2025. This means we still have plenty of time to binge-watch Stranger Things (once more!) and get ready for another mind-blowing series from the Duffer Brothers’ imaginative minds.
Enthusiastic about “Stranger Things”, I have complete confidence that “The Boroughs” will excel on all fronts. The Duffer Brothers possess an exceptional ability to put ordinary individuals in extraordinary situations, creating characters we can’t help but support. With a group of mature heroes, a fresh environment, and a mysterious supernatural danger hidden within the desert, “The Boroughs” has the potential to be Netflix’s next major success.
Stay tuned because this is one journey we won’t want to miss!
