Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer’s new supernatural mystery series The Boroughs has been ordered at Netflix!
Created by Jeffrey Addis and Will Matthews (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance), The Boroughs will take 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 Duffer Brothers will serve as executive producers via their Upside Down Pictures label. Hilary Leavitt will also be executive producing.
“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,” The Duffer Brothers said in a statement.
“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.”
The Boroughs is just one of the many projects the Duffer Brothers have at Netflix. The duo have season five of Stranger Things coming up, as well as an animated Stranger Things series. A live-action Stranger Things spin-off is in the works too. They’re also working on another live-action adaptation of Death Note and of Stephen King and Peter Straub’s The Talisman.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, for behind all this makeup, is a geek just like you. To simply put it, superheroes, Star Wars, Harry Potter and all things gore and creepy makes this girly girl swoon.
