Netflix has canceled “The Boroughs,” a science fiction series co-created by the Duffer Brothers, creators of “Stranger Things,” after just one season. The streaming service will not be renewing the show for a second season, according to reports from US trade publications. “The Boroughs” premiered to a muted response and failed to gain significant traction with audiences. This marks another instance of Netflix curtailing original programming amid shifting content strategies. The Duffer Brothers are currently focused on continuing the “Stranger Things” universe with a spin-off series. The cancellation highlights the competitive landscape of streaming and the pressure on new shows to quickly attract viewership.
