It’s a one-and-done for "The Boroughs" as Netflix has opted not to proceed with a second season of the sci-fi TV series executive produced by "Stranger Things" creators The Duffer Brothers.

The news comes as somewhat of a surprise as Deadline hears there had been talk about renewing the series and a Season 2 writers room had been opened, a standard practice for many high-profile series.

According to sources, one of the ideas floated was to film Seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back. But that was before it debuted to strong reviews but soft ratings last month.



Dubbed as "Stranger Things with Seniors", "The Boroughs" tallied a modest 5.6M views in its opening weekend. Given the series was following on the heels of the behemoth final season of "Stranger Things", expectations were that another sci-fi series from the Duffers would come out of the gate stronger.

In its first full week, the series ballooned to 9.5M views, but then quickly sank to 3.7M views the next week, signaling that long-tail growth is unlikely.
