According to Variety, Netflix has recently ordered new supernatural drama series titled The Boroughs. The Duffer brothers (We All Fall Down), creators of one of Netflix’s most popular series Stranger Things ,will be executive producers on this upcoming series. The series hails from co-creators Jeffrey Addis (Life in a Year) and Will Matthews (Punk’d) and will currently include eight episodes.
According to Variety, the official logline of the series states, “In a seemingly picturesque retirement community in the New Mexico desert, a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have… time.”
Below is a Twitter post from Netflix promoting the new series.
The Duffer brothers said, “We’ve been fans of Jeff and Will’s writing for a long time, and when they pitched us their idea for The Boroughs, we immediately knew they had something very special on their hands. 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.”
According to Variety, this is the return of Addis and Matthews to Netflix as they originally worked on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance as co-creators.
Addis and Matthews said, “We’re thrilled to be back at Netflix. Working alongside the Duffer Brothers who are pretty good at making shows and their team has been a dream come true. They bring the perfect balance of heart and horror to our story. We can’t wait for audiences around the world to unlock the dark mystery buried beneath the sunny facade of The Boroughs.”
