Spooky old building aficionado Mike Flanagan has a new spooky old building on offer in The Midnight Club, the new Netflix series (premiering October 7) that brings a YA bent to Flanagan’s horror repertoire. This time, it’s Brightcliffe Hospice, a care facility for terminally ill teens.
In the new trailer, Ilonka (Iman Benson) is a teenager with a promising future ahead of her—until an unexpected diagnosis of thyroid cancer disrupts all her plans. Instead of heading to Stanford, she discovers Brightcliffe and its community of ailing kids. Her fellow patients welcome Ilonka to “The Midnight Club,” a group that meets every night to “make ghosts” (or tell stories, depending who you ask).
