- Netflix has cancelled The Boroughs , a sci-fi drama executive produced by the Duffer Brothers , after just one season, less than a month after its debut.
- The series, starring Alfred Molina and Geena Davis, followed “a crew of unlikely heroes [who] must stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have: time”.
- Despite receiving generally positive reviews and a 97 per cent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, its viewing figures reportedly fell short of expectations.
- According to Deadline , who first reported the cancellation, Netflix has decided not to go ahead with a second season, despite prior conversations about renewing the series.
- This cancellation follows a pattern of Netflix axing big-budget genre series, even those with strong critical reception and fan support.
