The Duffer Brothers’ sci-fi dream, *The Boroughs*, has officially been grounded. Despite an A-list cast, Netflix pulled the plug after a brutal 61% viewership plummet in week three. High production costs and fading audience interest sealed its fate. With the creators eyeing new horizons at Paramount, this cancellation marks a cold, calculated shift in the streaming giant’s brutal content strategy.
