Production has commenced on the second season of “The Institute,” based on Stephen King‘s 2019 novel of the same name.
Hailing from writer Benjamin Cavell (“The Stand,” Justified”) and director Jack Bender (“Mr. Mercedes,” Child’s Play 3), the supernatural horror series will return on MGM+ later this year.
Ben Barnes, Joe Freeman, Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Hannah Galway, and Arlen So are back to star, with additional casting to be announced.
“Set free but hunted, new dangers await the escapees from the Institute, and I can’t wait,” King previously teased.
In the first season, teen genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped and awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did and who are all possessed of unusual abilities.
In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson has come looking to start a new life, but the peace and quiet won’t last, as his story and Luke’s are destined to collide.
“The Institute” scored MGM+’s best-ever premiere when it debuted last July.
