India, June 18 -- Netflix has decided not to move forward with a second season of The Boroughs, the sci-fi drama executive produced by the minds behind Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers.

There were even early ideas being explored about filming Seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back which suggested long-term planning was briefly on the table.

But plans shifted after the show's performance began to flatten following its debut window.
