US Edition'The Boroughs': Netflix Sets New Duffer Brothers Series for May
The eight-episode horror series features retirees confronting supernatural threats and dark secrets, aiming to portray older characters realistically, with cast members bringing 350 years of combined experience.
- Netflix set May 21, 2026 for the premiere of The Boroughs, with all eight episodes dropping at once and first-look images released today to promote the series.
- After pitching the idea about retirees and monsters, creators and co-showrunners Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews aimed to treat aging as real people facing challenges rather than a punchline.
- Ben Taylor, director and executive producer, leads the first two episodes while Augustine Frizzell and Kyle Patrick Alvarez helm several others across the eight-episode season.
- Ahead of the launch, producers framed The Boroughs as a show teenagers can watch with parents and grandparents, balancing scares and emotion with older protagonists as real people, Addiss and Matthews said.
- As their next project after Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers executive produce the series set in the winter of 1985, unfolding between Seasons 2 and 3, with an animated spin-off also in development.
