Geena Davis' Sci-Fi Show Canceled Despite Top 10 Run

Netflix has canceled the sci-fi drama 'The Burroughs,' starring Geena Davis, despite the series consistently ranking in the top 10. The show, which premiered on May 21, featured Davis as Renee, a former music manager residing in a unique retirement village.

The series' creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, reportedly informed the cast of the cancellation before it was publicly announced. Davis expressed surprise and disappointment, stating that the show was not expected to be renewed, especially while performing well.

'The Burroughs' focused on retirees who discovered their community was a front for sinister activities. Davis highlighted the show's complete first-season narrative, designed without a cliffhanger, allowing it to stand alone.

The actress also discussed her character's steamy scenes with co-star Carlos Miranda, defending their age-gap romance as a delight rather than controversial. She shared her skepticism about such storylines setting trends, citing past experiences with 'Thelma & Louise' and 'A League of Their Own.'
