The creators of the acclaimed series Stranger Things, the Duffer brothers, are preparing to launch their new project titled The Boroughs, a series that promises to captivate the audience with its intriguing narrative and a cast of renowned actors. The production, which will be directed by Ben Taylor, Augustine Frizzel, and Kyle Patrick Alvarez, will be available on Netflix starting May 21.
A series that promises to take the world by storm
The plot of The Boroughs transports us to an apparently idyllic retirement community, where a group of elderly people is forced to come together after an unexpected encounter with a monstrous creature. This event triggers a series of events that reveal a dark secret that calls into question the value of their golden years. The series promises to reflect on life in old age and the dangers that may lurk behind a tranquil facade.
The cast of The Boroughs includes talented actors such as Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, and Bill Pullman, who will bring great quality to the project. Alongside them, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, Carlos Miranda, Jena Malone, Seth Numrich, and Alice Kremelberg participate, suggesting that the series will not skimp on acting talent.
Additionally, The Boroughs serves as a nod to the classic 1985 film Cocoon, which was a major success and won two Academy Awards. This homage to 80s pop culture is part of the essence that the Duffer brothers seek to capture in their new work, suggesting that the connection to the cinema of the era will become a prominent aspect of the series. Thus, The Boroughs will not only attract modern fans but also those nostalgic for the iconic films of their youth.
