Netflix Developing Supernatural Drama with STRANGER THINGS Creators and DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE Creators
Netflix has picked up a new supernatural drama series titled The Boroughs which is being produced by Stranger Things creators the Duffer brothers, and it was created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, who previously created The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
The official logline for the series reads: “In a seemingly picturesque retirement community in the New Mexico desert, a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have… time.”
The Duffers said in a statement: “We’ve been fans of Jeff and Will’s writing for a long time, and when they pitched us their idea for The Boroughs, we immediately knew they had something very special on their hands. While the heroes in The Boroughs have a few more years on them than the kids from Stranger Things, they are a similarly lovable bunch of misfits, and we can’t wait for you to join them on an adventure that is at turns scary, funny, and deeply touching.”
Addis and Matthews, who also recently worked on WB’s anime film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, said: “We’re thrilled to be back at Netflix. Working alongside the Duffer Brothers (who are pretty good at making shows) and their team has been a dream come true. They bring the perfect balance of heart and horror to our story. We can’t wait for audiences around the world to unlock the dark mystery buried beneath the sunny facade of The Boroughs.”
The Boroughs has been given an eight-episode order, and it sounds like it has the potential to be a great show! I’m curious to see how this thing turns out.
