The Boroughs Welcomes You this May

Take a first look at the sci-fi project from Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews.

So, what is The Boroughs

From the press release:

The eight-episode drama, which is also executive produced by The Duffer Brothers, is set in a seemingly perfect retirement community. There, a grieving newcomer’s monstrous encounter inspires him to join a misfit crew of unlikely heroes who uncover a dark secret that proves their “golden years” are more dangerous, and they are more formidable, than anyone expects.

Their fight against the clock begins soon. All eight episodes of Season 1 arrive on May 21.

The cast includes Alfred Molina (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Three Pines) as Sam, Geena Davis (Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own) as Renee, Alfre Woodard (Clemency, Salem’s Lot) as Judy, Denis O’Hare (American Horror Story, This Is Us) as Wally, Clarke Peters (The Wire; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) as Art, and Bill Pullman (The SinnerIndependence Day) as Jack. The press release makes it clear there’s more than a little flavour of Ron Howard’s Cocoon in the setup, but we expect more. You can also see other first look images in the press release.

We will be looking out for a trailer and will bring it as soon as we can.
