Speaking about the series to Netflix, The Duffer Brothers, said, "The creators were adamant that — unlike so many stories about older characters — this wouldn’t treat aging as a punchline. Instead, it would treat its characters as real people facing real challenges … along with a few supernatural ones. It was exactly the show we’d been dreaming of.”
Ben Taylor, who is directing the first two episodes of the series, is serving as an executive producer. The Duffer Brothers' Upside Down Productions is the banner backing The Boroughs.
