New Mexico Film Office Announces Netflix Series “The Boroughs” Begins Production in New Mexico
Albuquerque, NM— The New Mexico Film Office announced today that “The Boroughs,” an eight-episode supernatural mystery from Netflix, will be filming in and around Albuquerque.
The production will employ over 2,000 New Mexicans – 275 crew members, 32 principal actors, and 1,934 background talent.
The series is set to star Alfred Molina (“Spider-Man: No Way Home”), Geena Davis (“A League of Their Own”), Alfre Woodard (“Clemency”), Denis O’Hare (“This Is Us”), Clarke Peters (“Missouri”), and Bill Pullman (“The Sinner”).
“The Boroughs” takes place in a seemingly picturesque retirement community, where a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have… time.
Ben Taylor (“Catastrophe”) will direct multiple episodes, including the pilot. Taylor will also serve as executive producer alongside the Duffer Brothers and Hilary Leavitt on behalf of Upside Down Pictures, Jeffrey Addiss, and Will Matthews.
New Mexico's film industry continues to surge, shattering the $1 billion mark in total economic impact for 2024. Total economic impact includes direct production spending within the state, wages earned by cast and crew members, and indirect spending on hotels, restaurants, and countless other New Mexico businesses that support and benefit from the film industry.
