The Boroughs actor Denis O'Hare has taken to Instagram to encourage fans and Emmy voters to get out there and show Netflix that they made a big mistake.
"So, it’s Saturday and I’m just thinking about the fact that Netflix canceled The Boroughs and how really bummed I am because it was such a great show, it was such a great show and people really seem to love it," O'Hare said in a video he posted to Instagram.
"Anyway, so I think we still have a couple of days before the end of Emmy voting that everyone should just vote for The Boroughs," he continued. "You can vote for me if you like. But also like Bill Pullman and Alfre Woodard and Alfie [Alfred] Molina and Geena Davis and Clarke Peters, Seth Numrich, Alice Kremelberg and vote for ‘The Boroughs’ for Best Series and, you know, stick it to Netflix and let them know that they made a mistake, you know, because I think that would be sweet revenge. Anyway, I love the show, I miss it and, you know, whatever." You can watch the full video below.
The Boroughs series hit Netflix on May 21 and climbed to 9.6 million viewers in its first week before dropping to 3 million, debuting with an impressive 97% Rotten Tomatoes score. The streaming giant pulled the plug on June 17, with reports citing the high production costs and viewership decline as reasons for cancellation. Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, who created Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance TV series, served as executive producers and showrunners, with The Duffer Brothers producing under their Upside Down Pictures banner.
The sci-fi show, inspired by the 1985 Ron Howard movie Cocoon, took place in a seemingly picturesque retirement community that saw a group of unlikely heroes band together to stop an otherworldly threat lurking within.
