Geena Davis Reacts to Netflix Cancelling The Boroughs

Geena Davis told The Hollywood Reporter she’s ‘terribly disappointed’ Netflix canceled The Boroughs, the Duffer Brothers–produced series she starred in, with no explanation given. The show had been in Netflix’s top 10 but premiered May 21 and was canceled June 17; first-week viewership neared 10 million and later fell below 4 million, suggesting weak long-tail growth. Creators had planned a three-season arc, but the cast were told to end Season 1 with a cliffhanger, though Davis notes it still serves as a complete story. She has other projects in the works, including a film with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and there have been no announced spin-offs.

Netflix Axes The Boroughs After One Season

Deadline reports Netflix canceled The Boroughs after one season despite strong reviews and a high-profile cast (Molina, Davis, Woodard, O’Hare, Peters, Pullman). The sci‑fi drama opened with about 5.6M views, rose to 9.5M in its first full week, then fell to 3.7M, leading to a renewal reconsideration given the show’s high production costs. A Season 2 writers room had been opened and there was talk of back‑to‑back Seasons 2 and 3, but no renewal was issued. The Duffers’ project slate elsewhere (and a move to Paramount) contextualizes Netflix’s decision.
