The horror blockbuster duo is back! Mike Flanagan, the creative genius behind blockbuster supernatural shows like The Haunting of Hill House (2018) , The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020) and the recent Midnight Mass (2021) is back with another thrilling supernatural outing ‘The Midnight Club‘. The fourth time collaboration with Netflix is definitely looking out for a blockbuster tag as well.
Unlike the regular jump-scare horror affairs, Flanagan is famous for writing his shows with a touch of affection, love and tenderness. His Backstories are the backbones of his shows. And one could expect nothing less this time as well. The Midnight Club is also called as a spiritual sequel to his previous Netflix show ‘Midnight Mass’. The show is slated for an October 7th release.
The horror mystery thriller is created by Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong, with Flanagan serving as showrunner and executive producer along with Trevor Macy. The show is an adaptation of the 1994 novel of the same name written by Christopher Pike. The series follows a group of seven close terminally ill young adults residing in the Rotterdam Home hospice run by an enigmatic doctor. They meet at midnight every night to narrate sinister stories to each other. One night they make a pact that the first one to succumb to their disease is responsible for communicating with the others from beyond the grave. After one of them dies, things get out of hand and turn bizzare.
The Midnight Club stars Iman Benson, Adia, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, Aya Furukawa, Annarah Shephard, William Chris Sumpter, and Sauriyan Sapkota as the patients.Heather Langenkamp, Zach Gilford, Matt Biedel and Samantha Sloyan have recurring parts in the show as well. The 10 episode series will drop all its episodes on one go and will be available on Netflix India from October 7th, 2022. Now if you’re a horror junkie like all of us, Mark your calender right-away.
