Netflix is far from the only one of the biggest and best streaming services to figure out that people absolutely love sci-fi right now. It, like Apple TV, Prime Video and others, continues to invest eye-watering sums in new series and movies that explore "what if" questions, and it just unveiled a new example that takes the genre to some very interesting places.
The Boroughs, which just got its first trailer and confirmation of a 21 May release date, is from the same executive producers as Stranger Things, suggesting it could be quite a big bet from Netflix, although it has one major twist. Where Stranger Things starred a cast of, well, children at the start, The Boroughs instead flips things and goes with a cast of elderly actors.
