And the next Duffer Brothers project will be?

Well, I always wondered what the Duffer Brothers would do next and now I know! It’s ‘The Boroughs’.

“The Duffer Brothers said: “For years, we’ve wondered why no one has made a film like Ron Howard’s wonderful ‘Cocoon’ since, well, ‘Cocoon.’ Then, out of nowhere, Jeff and Will emailed us an idea for ‘The Boroughs:’ a story about retirees and monsters. They were adamant that — unlike so many stories about older characters — this wouldn’t treat aging as a punchline. Instead, it would treat its characters as real people facing real challenges… along with a few supernatural ones. It was exactly the show we’d been dreaming of.””

I like the idea of this show and I’ll certainly give it some attention. It’s on Netflix, so no new subscription needed.

Do you like the sound of this show? I do, because it focuses on my age group and I loved ‘Cocoon’, how about you?
