If there is one show that beats all others in the competition to raise the most anticipation at this moment, it has to be Stranger Things season 5. The Netflix crown jewel that was introduced to us back in 2016 is one of the most loved shows across the globe and the fifth season especially has a lot riding on its back. It happens to be the finale season for the show that has been around for over a decade and made Millie Bobby Brown and the gang household names. While the new season is a swan song and there are rumors of spin-offs and prequels for the same, The Duffer Brothers have already moved on to their next and have even shaped the show called The Boroughs. The two have announced the same and given out details at the Next On Netflix event and below is everything you should know about the same.
The Duffer Brothers are the creators of Stranger Things which has become one of the most loved Netflix shows over the years. Now that they have already wrapped up filming and are probably in the last leg of post-production of season 5, it is safe to announce their next collaboration with Netflix, and that too for a show in the Stranger Things domain. At the event, the two detailed the show and said it shares the most DNA with the Millie Bobby Brown show.
Talking about the same, Matt Duffer said, “The Boroughs probably shares the most DNA with Stranger Things because it’s about a group of misfits who fight an otherworldly evil. Only unlike Stranger Things, it’s set in a retirement community, so that’s something different. This time our misfits are a little on the older side. They ride golf carts, not bikes. It stars Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Bill Pullman, and a host of other screen icons who we’re obsessed with,” Duffer added. “We’ve seen the first three episodes, and we’re really pumped about it. It’s fun, scary, and touching too, and we can’t wait for you to see it.”
Per the synopsis, The Boroughs “takes place in a seemingly picturesque retirement community in the New Mexico desert, where a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have: time.”
The eight-episode sci-fi/supernatural drama stars Alfred Molina (Spider-Man: No Way Home) as Sam, Geena Davis (Beetlejuice) as Renee, Alfre Woodard (Luke Cage) as Judy, Denis O’Hare (American Horror Story) as Wally, Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle) as Lilly, Clarke Peters (The Wire) as Art, and Bill Pullman (Independence Day) as Jack.
While there is no specific release date, it is said that The Boroughs will release on Netflix in 2026. It also makes sense because Stranger Things Season 5 is scheduled for a late 2025 release. Stay tuned to OTTplay for more information on this and everything else from the world of streaming and films.
