The Midnight Club Trailer Released by Netflix
Death is a right of passage on The Midnight Club — Mike Flannagan’s latest horror series on Netflix. Its ten-episode season debuts on the streaming service on Friday, October 7.
The Midnight Club is based on Christopher Pike’s 1994 novel of the same name and Pike’s other works.
The show takes place at Brightcliffe Manor, a hospice for terminally ill young adults. Upon her arrival, Iman Benson’s Ilonka joins seven other patients in the building’s library at midnight to tell scary stories — or “make ghosts.”
The teens also “make a pact that the next of them to die will give the group a sign from the beyond.”
Netflix’s TUDUM reveals more about the premise, stating that the pact is a way to “search for signs of the supernatural in an attempt to save themselves from their impending fate.”
Ilonka, who is on a fast track to attending Standford University in the fall, finds herself at Brightcliffe after receiving a diagnosis of thyroid cancer.
TUDUM notes “her determination to survive” as Ilonka’s driving force to seek out Brightcliffe as she’s heard miraculous recoveries have happened there.
The trailer, set in the ’90s and to a remixed version of The Toadies’ “Possum Kingdom,” introduces The Midnight Club: Benson as Ilonka, Igby Rigney as Kevin, Ruth Codd as Anya, William Chris Sumpter as Spencer, Aya Furukawa as Natsuki, Annarah Cymone as Sandra, and Sauriyan Sapkota as Amesh.
The Midnight Club is co-created by The Haunting of Bly Manor‘s Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong.
A few familiar faces from Flanagan’s other projects will appear on The Midnight Club. TV Line notes that Zach Gilford and Samantha Sloyan, who appeared on Midnight Mass, will join this show, too.
The Midnight Club trailer also reveals that A Nightmare on Elm Steet‘s Heather Langenkamp will appear as Dr. Georgina Stanton, and if anyone knows how scary coming-of-age can be, it’s Langenkamp.
