Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for Mike Flanagan’s new horror series 'The Midnight Club', based on the novel by Christopher Pike. The 10-episode series follows a group of terminally ill patients at Rotterdam Home who gather at midnight to share scary stories, making a pact to contact each other from beyond the grave should one of them die.
The cast includes Adia, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, Aya Furukawa, Annarah Shephard, William Chris Sumpter and Sauriyan Sapkota, with Heather Langenkamp playing the enigmatic doctor who presides over the home. Flanagan created the series alongside Leah Fong, known for 'The Haunting of Bly Manor'.
Flanagan executive produces for Intrepid Pictures with Trevor Macy and Adam Fasullo, while Fong also serves as an executive producer with Julia Bicknell and author Christopher Pike. Elan Gale, James Flanagan and Chinaka Hodge are writers, with Flanagan directing the first two episodes.
Flanagan has a strong track record in horror, having produced Netflix hits such as 'The Haunting of Hill House', 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' and 'Midnight Mass', as well as film adaptations of Stephen King's 'Gerald's Game' and 'Doctor Sleep'. He is also developing 'The Fall of the House of Usher' for Netflix.
'The Midnight Club' premieres on Netflix on 7 October.
