Shocked Geena Davis addresses Netflix canceling 'The Boroughs'
Key Points:
- Geena Davis expressed disappointment after Netflix canceled "The Boroughs," a supernatural series produced by the Duffer Brothers, without providing a clear reason despite the show being in Netflix's top 10 at the time of cancellation.
- The show, which premiered on May 21 and was canceled less than a month later on June 17, experienced a sharp drop in viewership from nearly 10 million in its first week to below 4 million in its second week.
- Davis noted that the creators were advised to end the first season with a cliffhanger, but they chose to conclude it with a complete story, which may have affected renewal decisions.
- "The Boroughs" was seen as a comeback for Davis, who had slowed her career in recent years, and she highlighted ongoing projects including a film with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
- The cast developed strong bonds during filming, and while no spinoffs have been announced, Davis expressed interest in continuing collaboration, potentially as an anthology series.
