The Boroughs Trailer and Key Art Unveiled by Netflix
Netflix has unveiled the official trailer and key art for The Boroughs, the new supernatural series from the executive producers of Stranger Things. The eight-episode series will premiere on May 21, 2026.
In the sun-drenched expanse of the New Mexico desert lies The Boroughs, a picturesque retirement community promising its residents the time of their lives. But for the new arrival, Sam Cooper (Alfred Molina), paradise feels more like a prison.
Everything changes when a terrifying nighttime encounter reveals that something monstrous is stalking the manicured cul-de-sacs.
Dismissed by the powers that be as just another confused old man, Sam finds unlikely allies in a band of neighborhood misfits: a sharp-witted former journalist, a spiritual seeker, a cynical music manager, and a brilliant doctor running out of options.
Overlooked and underestimated, these unlikely heroes must band together to unravel the dark truth at the heart of The Boroughs before their time runs out.
The cast includes Alfred Molina (Sam), Geena Davis (Renee), Alfre Woodard (Judy), Denis O’Hare (Wally), Clarke Peters (Art), Bill Pullman (Jack), Carlos Miranda (Paz), Jena Malone (Claire), Seth Numrich (Blaine), and Alice Kremelberg (Anneliese).
