While Stranger Things has come to an end, the Duffer brothers are not done with their work at Netflix. In fact, they have executive-produced a show premiering on the 2026 TV schedule called The Boroughs, and it has big Stranger Things energy. Along with that, it turns out that a challenge the brothers faced in making their megahit actually really helped this new show get off the ground.
Now, the Duffer brothers are executive producers on this new show on Netflix’s 2026 schedule that was created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. The Stranger Things creators had been fans of Addiss and Matthews's last show, Dark Crystal, and said they wanted to work on their next project together. So, they pitched the brothers The Boroughs, a story that takes place in a retirement village and follows a group of older folks as they try to solve a mystery involving a terrifying monster.
