Duffer Brothers’ ‘The Boroughs’ Canceled by Netflix After One Season

Netflix canceled the sci-fi series "The Boroughs" on October 26, 2026, after its first season. The show, an executive production by "Stranger Things" creators Matt and Ross Duffer, premiered in May 2026. "The Boroughs" featured a cast including Alfred Molina and Alfre Woodard, centering on a group of unexpected heroes facing a supernatural threat in a New Mexico town. The series aimed to explore themes of heroism and community against a backdrop of mysterious events. Despite the Duffer Brothers' involvement, the show did not secure a second season renewal from the streaming service. The cancellation follows a trend of Netflix evaluating the performance of its original series based on viewership and production costs.
