Over the years, Netflix has garnered something of a reputation amongst subscribers for canceling promising series after a single season, sometimes even in the face of obvious popularity and acclaim. The platform hasn't been guilty of the tactic that much regarding the 2026 TV schedule thus far - more on that below - so I'm genuinely shocked that The Boroughs has become the latest one-and-done Netflix Original.
That's right, the 2026 Netflix release executive produced by Matt and Ross Duffer won't be returning for a second season, as Deadline reports that the company chose not to continue any early development on future story arcs for The Boroughs. On the one hand, it's surprising, but on the other, Netflix is gonna Netflix.
