Dee Wallace and More Join Netflix Supernatural Series “The Boroughs” From Duffer Brothers
The latest collaboration between Netflix and Executive Producers The Duffer Brothers (“Stranger Things”) is the supernatural mystery series “The Boroughs.” Per Variety, six new cast members have been added, including actors Dee Wallace (Cujo, The Howling) and Ed Begley Jr. (Strange Darling).
Rafael Casal (“Loki,” Blindspotting), Jane Kaczmarek (“The Changeling”), Eric Edelstein (“Twin Peaks: The Return,” “Minx”), and Mousa Hussein Kraish (“American Gods,“ Your Lucky Day) have also joined the cast.
The logline for the upcoming series sounds like a blend of “Stranger Things“ and Cocoon that sees Senior citizens saving the world from an otherworldly threat. The official logline:
“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.”
The six new cast additions join previously announced cast members Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, and Bill Pullman. In other words, “The Boroughs“ is shaping up to have an impressive cast.
The series hails from creators and showrunners Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. Ben Taylor (Sex Education, Catastrophe) will executive produce and direct multiple episodes, including the pilot. Eight episodes have been ordered.
The Duffers executive produce along with Hilary Leavitt under their Upside Down Pictures banner, which is currently under an overall deal with Netflix. The Duffer Brothers are currently hard at work on the final season of “Stranger Things“ as well as the new series “Something Very Bad is Going to Happen.”
