Mike Flanagan will strike again with a new upcoming horror TV show. Now, he will come up with Netflix’s TV series The Midnight Club.
Mike Flanagan has famously created tons of phenomenal horror series and movies, such as Doctor Sleep, Oculus, Gerald’s Game, The Haunting Franchise (The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor), or the recent Netflix’s horror series, Midnight Mass.
His name is already well-known, especially to the horror fans. So when there are reports saying that he will come up with a new horror series, many people really looking forward to see it. The show will co-created by Leah Fong, who also worked with Flanagan on The Haunting of Bly Manor as a writer and producer. Flanagan will be the showrunner and will be the executive producer as well along with Trevor Macy.
The Midnight Club is based on the 1994 novel with the same title by Christopher Pike, but it will be combined with another Christopher Pike’s novels as well.
This upcoming mystery, thriller, and horror TV series will follow the story of a group of seven ill young adults who stay in Rotterdam House. Every night, they hold a meeting and tell each other scary stories. Until one day, together they make a pact that anyone who is lost to their battle to the sickness will have to communicate with the others outside of the grave. After one person dies, strange things start to happen.
Will consist of around ten episodes, The Midnight Club will pretty much provide multiple scary stories inside the show. So when will it be available on Netflix? Read more to find out everything you need to know.
The Midnight Club: Release Date
Up until now, Netflix hasn’t announced the official release date of The Midnight Club. However, on Mike Flanagan’s official Twitter, it was revealed that the show has started the filming since March 2021. However, there hasn’t been any trailer or further information regarding the progress of the production.
Since the filming has been underway since quite some times, we can expect to see it anytime soon in 2022. Until then, fans have to be more patient until there is another information from Netflix or the creators regarding the release date or even the trailer.
In the meantime, you can check out the recent Mike Flannagan’s work on Netflix, Midnight Mass.
The Midnight Club: The Plot
Based on the book, The Midnight Club will tell us the story of a group of young adults who are terminally ill and reside in Rotterdam House. They gather every night and each of them share scary stories. One night, they make a pact that anyone who dies first, should try and communicate with the people who are still alive. Well, we need to be careful on what we wish for.
There is also possibility that Flanagan makes a story that covers multiple periods of time, just like his previous works, The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. It can be combined with another Christopher Pike’s stories as well. Anyway, these all are just guess, so we can never really be sure until there is another hint about The Midnight Club.
The Midnight Club: The Cast
There is a tendency of Mike Flanagan to involve the same people or actors in his work. For example, the cast of Leigh in The Haunting of Hill House, Samantha Sloyan, appears in Mike Flanagan’s earlier movie, Hush. Mike’s brother, James Flanagan, also appears in many of Mike’s projects.
Some of the actors from Midnight Mass may appear in The Midnight Club as well, such as Ruth Codd, Sauriyan Sapkota, and Zach Gilford.
