broknsymetry At a Netflix presentation of the streaming giant’s 2025 slate for press on Wednesday, “Stranger Things” creators Ross and Matt Duffer revealed that in 2026 they will be executive producing two new shows, titled “The Boroughs” and “Something Very Bad is Going to Happen,” both of which “encompass what we feel is at the core of ‘Stranger Things,’” according to Ross Duffer – “they’re stories about ordinary people who encounter the extraordinary.” Matt Duffer added that “The Boroughs” “probably shares the most DNA with ‘Stranger Things’ because it’s about a group of misfits who fight an otherworldly evil.” “Only unlike ‘Stranger Things,’ it’s set in a retirement community, so that’s something different,” he quipped. “This time our misfits are a little on the older side. They ride golf carts, not bikes,” he said, in reference to the young characters in “Stranger Things” who ride their bicycles around Hawkins, Indiana. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/entertainment/stranger-things-new-show-duffer-brothers/index.html Something for the oldtimer demographic.

bennor Working through the series now (two episodes left). Finding it mostly just meh, so can see why Netflix canceled it.
urbanriot bennor Working through the series now (two episodes left). Finding it mostly just meh, so can see why Netflix canceled it. I started watching it and it seemed like some kind of horror TV show which wasn’t for me (at the time) so I stopped watching it.
