Stranger Things creators, the Duffer brothers, have dropped a teaser trailer for their new show, The Boroughs, and it looks like a cross between Stranger Things and Cocoon, with a touch of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

The Stranger Things creators are executive producing the new eight-part supernatural series for Netflix, and it’s created by The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’s Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews.

“From the beginning, we knew we wanted The Boroughs to feel equal parts scary, mysterious, exciting and emotional,” Addiss and Matthews told Tudum.

“The challenge was to create a world that could hold all of these different tones at once. Which is why it was so fun to work with the Duffer Brothers — the masters of balancing heart and horror.”
