Netflix invites us into The Buroughs with new trailer and images for its sci-fi mystery series

May 6, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

With a little over two weeks to go until The Boroughs lands on Netflix, the streamer has shared a new trailer for the upcoming sci-fi mystery series from Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) and the Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things).

The series centres on the residents of a picturesque retirement community, when a newcomer, Sam, arrives and suspects it may not be as perfect as it seems following a terrifying encounter at night. After banding together with a group of neighborhood misfits, Sam sets out to uncover the dark truth about their home, before its too late.

The cast of The Boroughs includes Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, and Bill Pullman. Check out the trailer below, along with a gallery of promotional images for the series…

In the sun-drenched expanse of the New Mexico desert lies The Boroughs, a picturesque retirement community promising its residents the time of their lives. But for new arrival Sam Cooper, paradise feels more like a prison. Everything changes when a terrifying nighttime encounter reveals that something monstrous is stalking the manicured cul-de-sacs. Dismissed by the powers that be as just another confused old man, Sam finds unlikely allies in a band of neighborhood misfits: a sharp-witted former journalist, a spiritual seeker, a cynical music manager, and a brilliant doctor running out of options. Overlooked and underestimated, these unlikely heroes must band together to unravel the dark truth at the heart of The Boroughs before their time runs out.

The Boroughs arrives on Netflix on May 21st.
