The Boroughs is the next big supernatural series coming to Netflix. The show, which hails from Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (creators of Netflix's Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) and executive-produced by Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers, takes place at a seemingly idyllic retirement community. But after a newcomer has an otherworldly experience, a team of misfits within the community band together to uncover the truth about what's really going on here.

Alfred Molina stars alongside a stacked, and I mean stacked, cast. Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Denis O'Hare, Clarke Peters, Bill Pullman, Jena Malone, Rafael Casal, Dee Wallace, Ed Begley Jr. and Jane Kaczmarek are part of the show's expansive ensemble.
