Thought The Cast Of The Boroughs Looked Familiar? Where You've Seen The Stars Before

Alfred Molina leads an all-star cast in the new Netflix sci-fi series, which is executive produced by the creators of Stranger Things.

If you’re missing Stranger Things, The Boroughs could well be about to become your new Netflix obsession.

Produced by Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers, the eight-part series follows a misfit group of pensioners who embark on an adventure after becoming suspicious that supernatural goings-on have taken over their idyllic retirement complex.

The Boroughs has already received a wave of positive reviews, with critics particularly praising the show’s stellar line-up of well-known faces you’re bound to recognise from their combined decades in the industry.

Indeed, the cast is a who’s who of recognisable stars that includes Oscar nominees, rom-com heroes and A-list TV stars.

Audiences have been swooning over Bill Pullman since the 1980s, when he made his film debut in Ruthless People.

The US actor then became one of the biggest names in Hollywood in the 1990s, appearing in classic films like A League Of Their Own, Casper and Wyatt Earp, as well as romantic roles opposite Meg Ryan in Sleepless In Seattle and Sandra Bullock in While You Were Sleeping.

He cemented his status as an acting icon when he played the president in 1996’s Independence Day, which he followed with performances in David Lynch’s Lost Highway, family favourite Spy Games and comedy horror Lake Placid.
