Netflix is producing a new supernatural mystery series with The Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things) titled The Boroughs, and the main cast has been revealed.
Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, and Bill Pullman are set to star in The Boroughs, which sees senior citizens saving the world from an otherworldly threat.
The synopsis 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.”
Alfred Molina (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Three Pines) plays Sam, Geena Davis (Beetlejuice, A League of Their Own) plays Renee, Alfre Woodard (Clemency, Salem’s Lot) plays Judy, Denis O’Hare (American Horror Story, This Is Us) plays Wally, Clarke Peters (Da 5 Bloods, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) plays Art, and Bill Pullman (The Sinner, Independence Day) plays Jack.
The Duffer Brothers previously 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
Ben Taylor (Sex Education, Catastrophe) will serve as executive producer and will direct multiple episodes including the pilot.
Eight episodes have been ordered, with Hilary Leavitt also executive producing.
