The Boroughs is Netflix’s new buzzy sci-fi show, but what songs appear on the soundtrack? Find the full list below.
The six-episode series comes from executive producers The Duffer Brothers, the creators of Stranger Things, and it has stars Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodard, Geena Davis and Denis O’Hare as residents of a retirement community that become confronted with a strange set of mysteries.
A synopsis reads: “In a seemingly picturesque retirement community, a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have…time.”
Check out the trailer here:
The show has been created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, previously known for writing The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim and The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance. All six episodes premiered on Netflix on May 21.
NME gave The Boroughs a four-star review, noting: “Like Stranger Things, The Boroughs is hard to pigeon-hole. There are elements of family drama, shades of comedy and moments of schlocky horror, but it’s just as intriguing as the Netflix hit’s early years.”
