Netflix Axes The Boroughs Amid Budget Worries and Duffer Bros’ Paramount Move
TL;DR
Netflix canceled The Boroughs after one season despite solid early viewership and strong critical reception, citing a steep production cost (around $10 million per episode or higher) and the Duffers’ deal with Paramount; Netflix, which owns the series, declined to extend cast options, effectively ending the show with no revival planned, while noting ongoing collaboration with the Duffers on other projects.
