The Duffer Brothers have exciting new projects in the pipeline for Netflix, with The Boroughs emerging as the production that resonates most closely with the beloved Stranger Things. This upcoming series promises to captivate fans while delivering a fresh storyline that echoes the charm of their previous work.
As we eagerly await the conclusion of Stranger Things this year, the creative minds behind it, the Duffer Brothers (Matt and Ross), are gearing up for their next ventures. Having dedicated a decade to crafting the rich universe of Stranger Things, it?s time for them to embark on new narratives. Their upcoming project, The Boroughs, aims to explore fresh themes and characters, albeit distinct from the haunting realms of the Upside Down. This new series promises to deliver intriguing storytelling infused with the same captivating essence that fans have come to love.
During the recent Next on Netflix event, the Duffer Brothers showcased their upcoming projects, including The Boroughs and Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, where they will take on the role of executive producers. Matt elaborated on The Boroughs, stating, ?Of the two projects, The Boroughs probably shares the most DNA with Stranger Things because it?s about a group of misfits who fight an otherworldly evil. Only unlike Stranger Things, it?s set in a retirement community, so that?s something different. This time our misfits are a little on the older side. They ride golf carts, not bikes.? This unique spin adds a refreshing twist to the classic misfit narrative.
The anticipation surrounding The Boroughs is further heightened by the star-studded cast, which includes renowned actors such as Bill Pullman, Geena Davis, Alfred Molina, Clarke Peters, Jena Malone, Dee Wallace, Jane Kaczmarek, and Ed Begley Jr. Unlike the largely unknown ensemble of Stranger Things, this lineup is sure to attract a diverse audience, familiar with these talented performers. According to Matt Duffer, who has already screened three of the eight episodes, the series expertly blends elements of horror, suspense, and emotional depth, promising an engaging binge-watching experience that fans will love!
While a release date for The Boroughs and Something Very Bad is Going to Happen has yet to be announced, both series are expected to premiere on Netflix in 2026. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the final season of Stranger Things, which is set to debut sometime this year, wrapping up the beloved saga that has captivated audiences around the world.
