Netflix Cancels Sci-Fi Thriller “The Boroughs” After One Season

Netflix has pulled the plug on its sci-fi adventure series The Boroughs less than a month after its May 21 premiere. Despite cracking Netflix’s global Top 10 each week, the show will not return for a second season. The series boasted an impressive ensemble including Alfred Molina, Geena Davis and Bill Pullman. It was executive produced by the creators of Stranger Things and centred on a group of retirees who uncover a chilling mystery in their community. Industry insiders say steep production costs and Netflix’s focus on runaway hits or ultra-high completion rates sealed the show’s fate. However, The Boroughs was written so its first season could stand alone, offering a complete story despite the cancellation. This decision adds to a recent pattern of early Netflix cancellations, leaving some fans wondering which series might be next to end prematurely.
