Executive produced by Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer (aka the Duffer Brothers), The Boroughs presents another fantastical story filled with monsters, mystery and peril.
Among them were such acting heavyweights as Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2), Geena Davis (Thelma & Louise), Alfre Woodard (Luke Cage), Clarke Peters (The Wire) and Bill Pullman (The Sinner).
All things considered, hopes were high that The Boroughs would live to see multiple seasons, but Netflix announced its cancellation this week after only a month of streaming availability.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, this performance might have been sufficient for a cheaper show, but The Boroughs came with an expensive price tag, reported to be upwards of $80 million.
The Hollywood Reporter also quotes a source who claims that the Duffer Brothers' recent move from Netflix, where they made their name, to rival studio Paramount may have been another influencing factor. Radio Times has reached out to representatives for Netflix and the Duffer Brothers for comment.

In the wake of The Boroughs' cancellation, The Duffers may need to take some time to find their own redemptive project, as 3 Body Problem has proven to be for ex-Game of Thrones bosses David Benioff and DB Weiss.
That could come in the form of a theatrically released feature film project, as yet untitled, which has been scheduled by Paramount for release on 3 November 2028. Details are yet to be disclosed on the plot.
