Stranger Things’ Duffers Unveil Time-Stealing Monsters with Seniors in Boroughs

Netflix has released the first image from Boroughs, the new science fiction series executive produced by the Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things) through their Upside Down Pictures production company. Created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, Boroughs will premiere on Netflix on May 21. Unlike Stranger Things, this series centers on a group of retirees confronting a mysterious threat, rather than teenagers battling monsters in a small town. The Duffers have stated that the core of Boroughs is a story about older adults and monsters. The Duffer Brothers cite Cocoon as a major inspiration, emphasizing the series’ 1980s influences. According to the official synopsis, the residents of a retirement home unite to face a danger from space that seeks to steal their time—something they can’t afford to lose. Images of Molina in character have already been released. The ensemble cast features Bill Pullman, Geena Davis, and Alfred Molina (as Sam), along with Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, and Clarke Peters. Jena Malone, Ed Begley Jr., Jane Kaczmarek, Alice Kremelberg, and Dee Wallace round out the cast. Contrary to some speculation, Boroughs is an original concept and not part of an existing franchise.
