News The Boroughs The Boroughs, From the Creators of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Lines Up a Super Cast of Unlikely Heroes These retirees might just save the day By Molly Templeton | Published on November 22, 2024 Screenshot: Sony Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Sony In April of 2023, Netflix announced a series called The Boroughs, which is a sort of mild-mannered title for what sounds like a genre-hopping good time. Created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance; The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim), the series is about a group of retirees who “must band together to defeat an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have: time.” It’s set in the New Mexico desert, naturally; presumably that otherworldly threat is somehow alien. In September, Netflix announced the show’s stars: Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2, pictured above), Geena Davis (Blink Twice), Alfre Woodard (Luke Cage), Denis O’Hare (True Blood), Clarke Peters (The Wire), and Bill Pullman (Independence Day). Now, they’ve added six more stars, who are a mix of veteran actors and newer faces, and some of whom have been in basically everything over the years: Rafael Casal (Loki), Dee Wallace (Last Night on Earth, E. T.), Ed Begley Jr. (Better Call Saul, Arrested Development), Jane Kaczmarek (Malcom in the Middle, The Changeling), Eric Edelstein (We Bare Bears, Drunk History), and Mousa Hussein Kraish (American Gods). The Boroughs is produced by the Duffer Brothers, who seem to be expanding their horizons now that Stranger Things is finally nearing its end. No premiere date has been announced.[end-mark] The post <i>The Boroughs</i>, From the Creators of <i>The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance</i>, Lines Up a Super Cast of Unlikely Heroes appeared first on Reactor.
