The Boroughs is the newest series to reach the top of the Netflix charts in just a few days since its May 21 release. The sci-fi thriller, produced by Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, follows the residents of The Boroughs, a seemingly serene retirement community.

The series has an incredible ensemble cast that includes Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Bill Pullman, Geena Davis, and more.
While romance isn’t a top priority within the world of The Boroughs, many of the show’s actors have plenty of incredible love stories off-screen. From decades-long marriages to a recent engagement to those who keep their personal lives private, Swooon has done a deep dive into the real-life relationships of The Boroughs cast members.
