Stranger Things Creators Tease Exciting New Series That Will Blow Your Mind!

by

Since 2016 when “Stranger Things” became a global phenomenon, Matt and Ross Duffer have been highly sought-after creators in Hollywood. As we approach the scheduled release of the final season of “ST” in 2025, fans are eagerly anticipating what the Duffer Brothers will create next. That upcoming project is a Netflix series titled “The Boroughs” which is soon to be released. At the moment, specifics about the show are scarce, but their recent comments on the show have only fueled my excitement even more.

During a recent Netflix presentation, creators Matt and Ross Duffer discussed Season 5 of “Stranger Things” and their upcoming projects, titled “The Boroughs” and “Something Very Bad is Going to Happen.” These new shows share an intriguing storyline and cast that will delight fans of “Stranger Things,” but it appears that “The Boroughs” bears the closest resemblance to the popular series. According to Matt Duffer (as reported by Deadline):

The Boroughs may bear the closest genetic resemblance to Stranger Things since both stories revolve around a band of unlikely heroes battling an otherworldly menace. However, unlike Stranger Things, which is set in a more conventional environment, this series unfolds within a retirement community. As such, the characters are somewhat older and navigate their battles using golf carts instead of bicycles.

The upcoming Netflix series, featuring Geena Davis, Alfred Molina, and Bill Pullman in the lead roles, revolves around an elderly community in New Mexico that is disrupted by a mysterious otherworldly presence. This force seems to be tampering with time, posing a threat to the residents. Reminiscent of “Stranger Things,” this show appears to be a spin-off catering to older Netflix viewers who enjoy supernatural mysteries.

This is truly an exciting prospect! I can’t help but feel thrilled by it all. On the surface, the idea sounds captivating, but hearing that it will carry the distinctive atmosphere of the Duffers’ acclaimed sci-fi, horror series makes it even more intriguing. Given that world-building and crafting tales of underdog heroes are their strong suits, I’m particularly delighted to know that these sibling producers will be at the helm.

It’s equally intriguing that the Duffer Brothers appear to be carrying on their pattern of featuring ’80s and ’90s stars. They notably enlisted Winona Ryder and Cary Elwes for Stranger Things, contributing to its nostalgic vibe, and having actors like Davis and Pullman now seems to be a continuation of this approach. I’m eagerly anticipating the revelation about whether the series will be set in contemporary times or will be a period piece. Moreover, I can hardly wait to see if New Mexico will be portrayed with as much skill as the Duffer Brothers depicted fictional Hawkins, Indiana as a setting.

It’s great news that filming has begun for the show, which is slated to debut in 2026. Fans might be disheartened that ST is wrapping up, but The Boroughs appears to share the same essence. The possibility of similarities between these two series piques interest, yet I’m equally curious about how the new show will distinguish itself from its predecessor. Moreover, I’m intrigued by what innovative concepts it’ll present with a more mature cast. However, I have faith that the Duffers will skillfully blend novelty with familiarity.

Here’s hoping we get news about “The Buroughs” sooner, rather than later. For now, you can anticipate the end of “Stranger Things” this year. Also, keep an eye out for our article detailing all the thrilling upcoming projects on Netflix.
