Key Points
Netflix has canceled The Boroughs.
The sci-fi series premiered last month.
The creators previously shared that they had a “three-season plan.”
Netflix has retired The Boroughs.
Less than a month after premiering, the Ross and Matt Duffer-produced sci-fi series has been canceled, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed.
Created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, The Boroughs followed a group of older misfits at a retirement community who become entangled in an otherworldly mystery lurking beneath them. The esteemed cast included Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, Bill Pullman, and Geena Davis.

Addiss previously revealed to EW that he and his team had “a three-season plan with ideas about spinoffs after that.”
“We learned a hard lesson on Dark Crystal: Don’t end on a cliffhanger,” Addiss said, referring to his last Netflix show’s cancellation after an Emmy-winning first season. “So the end of the season [of The Boroughs] is an emotional wrap-up but opens a door and hints at where we wanna go in the next season — and even a little bit into the season after that.”
Unfortunately that door will never be walked through, but Addiss and Matthews answered all of EW’s burning questions about the now series finale.

The Boroughs was the fourth show from the Duffer Brothers to air on Netflix in the last few months, between the end of Stranger Things and the premieres of Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, and The Boroughs.
Stranger Things signed off, Something Very Bad was a limited series, and The Boroughs has been canceled, and so Tales From ’85 is the only one remaining, with the second season coming later this year. But it’s fair to wonder how many more Duffer projects will be on Netflix, considering the duo is headed to Paramount to make movies.
Deadline first reported the news of The Boroughs‘ cancellation.
