Although it has premiered in a modest third place in Spain, the series has managed to take the top spot among the most-watched series on Netflix worldwide.<strong> Whether this is enough to be considered a success or not remains to be seen, because Netflix is not very transparent with the figures of its series<\/strong>. This means that even appearing at the top of the most-watched series does not necessarily imply anything regarding its continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering that the series has not yet been renewed for a second season and the reviews have been less than enthusiastic, the future of The Boroughs: Rebel Retirement still seems up in the air. <strong>But if the success indicated by Stephen King&#8217;s praise and the public&#8217;s enthusiasm means anything, Netflix shouldn&#8217;t take long to announce that much-anticipated second season<\/strong>.
