Mike Flanagan, the brilliant filmmaker behind Doctor Sleep, Gerald’s Game, and Netflix’s “Haunting of Hill House” is back with his new Netflix series adaptation of Christopher Pike’s 1994 novel The Midnight Club with co-creator Leah Fong.
Flanagan announced earlier this week on Twitter that filming is officially underway with him directing several episodes as well as executive producing along with Intrepid Pictures’ Trevor Macy.
Flanagan has stated that the series focuses on a club of terminally ill young adults who gather together at midnight to tell scary stories and make a pact that whichever of them dies first will contact the others from beyond the grave.
The cast includes Adia, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, William Chris Sumpter, Aya Furukawa, Annarah Shephard, Sauriyan Sapkota, Zach Gilford, Samantha Sloyan, and Matt Biedel. Scream Queen Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street) will star as the series’ doctor who runs the hospice.
Julia Bickell will executive produce along with Flanagan, Leah Fong, and Julia Bicknell. James Flanagan, Elan Gale, and Chinaka Hodge will also write for the series.
