by

Building on their hit show Stranger Things, the creators are now executive producers of a new sci-fi series on Netflix. The show, recently released on the streaming platform, has already earned praise from horror legend Stephen King, who quickly watched all eight episodes and gave it his approval.

Stephen King called the Netflix series The Boroughs “an absolute delight” in a recent post. He also noted that, as it’s a Netflix show, all episodes are likely available to watch, and he believes it’s genuinely worth your time.

The Co-Creator Responds to Stephen King’s Praise

Jeffrey Addiss, one of the creators of The Boroughs (along with Will Matthews), shared his thanks, saying, “This is really awesome! On behalf of everyone involved in the show, thank you for watching and for your writing – it had a huge impact on The Boroughs. I actually started reading your work way too young, and I’m glad I did. We’ve always remembered the inspiration you provided.”

Stephen King isn’t the only one praising the new Netflix show. Critics are also raving about The Boroughs, giving it a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The series is quickly becoming a hit around the world, attracting a large audience. This is a major win for Netflix, and Stephen King’s positive review is just the latest good news.

The Cast Has Earned Some High Praise

Much of the positive attention surrounding The Boroughs is thanks to its incredible cast, as well as its compelling story. The series features a talented ensemble including well-known actors like Alfred Molina (known for Spider-Man: No Way Home), Alfre Woodard (Luke Cage), Denis O’Hare (True Blood), Clarke Peters (The Wire), Carlos Miranda (Station 19), Jena Malone (Donnie Darko), Seth Numrich (Under the Banner of Heaven), Alice Kremelberg (The Trial of the Chicago 7), and Geena Davis (Beetlejuice).

The series also features appearances by well-known actors such as Bill Pullman (known for Spaceballs: The New One), Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle), Dee Wallace (13 Fanboy), and Ed Begley Jr. (Better Call Saul).

This series takes place in a retirement community located in the New Mexico desert. It follows a group of senior citizens who uncover a strange, supernatural threat. Often compared to Stranger Things, but with a unique twist, the show focuses on the adventures of older characters instead of teenagers. Netflix describes it as the story of an unexpected team of heroes joining forces to solve a mysterious and otherworldly puzzle.

The Boroughs is streaming on Netflix.
