‘The Boroughs’ promises dark twists and turns
Loved the camaraderie of Stranger Things? Then there’s a good chance you’re going to enjoy this new series executive-produced by Matt and Ross Duffer, with Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews serving as the showrunners and creators. In an idyllic retirement community, things get shaken up for its residents when a newcomer has a monstrous encounter, which ultimately leads him to join forces with an unlikely crew in this unexpected chapter of their lives. Though not much has been revealed in terms of what this monstrous threat might be, it’s fair to say that danger lies ahead.

While the masterminds behind this show and the intriguing plot are enough to pull us in, it’s the cast of actors bringing the show to life that truly has us excited. Alfred Molina will star as Sam alongside Geena Davis, who plays the character of Renee. Also bringing this cast to life is Alfre Woodard as Judy, as well as fan favorites like Dennis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, Bill Pullman, Jane Kaczmarek and more.

“While the heroes in The Boroughs have a few more years on them than the kids from Stranger Things, they are a similarly lovable bunch of misfits, and we can’t wait for you to join them on an adventure that is at turns scary, funny and deeply touching,” shared the Duffer brothers with Tudum.
