\n\tDeadline broke the news that The Boroughs<\/a> has been canceled<\/a>, and now Denis O\u2019Hare has a scheme for how fans can \u201cstick it to Netflix<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a seemingly tongue-in-cheek Instagram post O\u2019Hare, who played Wally on the Duffer Brothers\u2019 buzzy sci-fi TV series, says he was \u201cbummed\u201d because \u201cit was such a great show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tO\u2019Hare then presents his modest proposal: \u201d I think we still have a couple of days before the end of Emmy voting that everyone should just vote for The Boroughs. You can vote for me if you like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHis rationale? \u201cStick it to Netflix and let them know that they made a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor ends by imagining such an outcome would be \u201csweet revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHis castmate Geena Davis expressed her own bewilderment at the cancellation to Deadline\u2019s sister publication, The Hollywood Reporter, earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHonestly, I don\u2019t know what happened,\u201d said<\/a> Davis. \u201cI think it\u2019s probably rare for a show to not get picked up and to have it announced that it\u2019s not being picked up while it\u2019s still in the top 10.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPer Deadline\u2019s reporting, the cancellation came as something of a surprise. We hear there had been talk about renewing the series starring Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, O\u2019Hare, Clarke Peters and Bill Pullman, and a Season 2 writers room had been opened, a standard practice for many high-profile series. According to sources, one of the ideas floated was to film Seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut that was before\u00a0The Boroughs,\u00a0created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, debuted to strong reviews but soft ratings last month.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere is O\u2019Hare\u2019s statement in its entirety:<\/p>\n

\n\tSo, it\u2019s Saturday and I\u2019m 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. I\u2019ve been astounded how many people have come up to me and talked about how much they like the show \u2014 and not just like, you know, old people but I\u2019m talking about anybody, people who are, you know, in their 30s or 40s with kids.<\/p>\n

\n\tEveryone seemed to find something to relate to. 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. 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 it would be sweet revenge. Anyway, I love the show, I miss it and, you know, whatever.<\/p>\n
