“Netflix has canceled 'The Boroughs,' a sci-fi series created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews and executive produced by the Duffer Brothers, less than a month after its release. Despite strong initial viewership and critical acclaim, the show was axed just days before the end of Emmy voting. The series, which featured a star-studded cast including Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, and Bill Pullman, debuted at number two on Netflix's English-language TV chart and maintained high rankings in its first few weeks. However, the decision to cancel the show has raised questions, given its performance and positive reception.”
