News The Boroughs Nothing’s Impossible in the Trailer for The Boroughs Can’t their golden years get some golden lighting? By Molly Templeton | Published on April 13, 2026 Image: Netflix © 2026 Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Netflix © 2026 At one end of Netflix’s group-of-pals-encountering-strange-phenomena programming, you have the kids of Stranger Things. On the other end, the adults of The Boroughs, a new series that follows a gaggle of folks in a retirement community as they encounter … something. A new trailer is vague and also dark. But whatever stalks the streets of The Boroughs, it seems to have some magical bits as well as some murdery ones. The brief synopsis says: In a seemingly perfect retirement community, 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. However vague this new trailer may be, The Boroughs has one major thing going for it (and no, it’s not that Stranger Things creators the Duffer brothers are among its executive producers). It has a terrific cast. Alfred Molina plays Sam, the skeptical newcomer; he meets up with Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Bill Pullman, Clarke Peters, and Denis O’Hare, who, at 64, is the baby of the group. He’s also the one who jokes, at the end of the trailer, that given their ages, any day could be their last. It’s kind of off, that joke. But at least he’s over 50. (Yes, this is a Cocoon reference.) The Boroughs is created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, who also created The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (and co-wrote The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim). You can visit their eerie little community on May 21 on Netflix.[end-mark] The post Nothing’s Impossible in the Trailer for <i>The Boroughs</i> appeared first on Reactor.
