The veil between life and death is thin in The Midnight Club trailer

According to the series synopsis, the group makes a pact “that the next of them to die will give the group a sign from the beyond.” But as Ilonka bonds with the other teens, she becomes more determined than ever to live, spurred by the stories of previous Brightcliffe residents who “thought they were gonna die, but didn’t.”

“I don’t care what it costs. If there’s a way to save us, I’d burn the world down,” Ilonka declares. Unfortunately, doing so might threaten the precarious group even further. And based on the extremely spooky hauntings that take place in the trailer, the club clearly opens a door (specifically, the door to the creepy basement) that won’t easily be closed. “You need to stop. And don’t put yourself and all of us in real danger,” warns Sandra (Annarah Cymone).

Co-created by Flanagan and Leah Fong (a writer and producer on Flanagan’s The Haunting of Bly Manor), the series also stars Adia, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, Aya Furukawa, William Chris Sumpter, Sauriyan Sapkota, and Heather Langenkamp. The show will also feature appearances from recurring Flanagan collaborators Rahul Kohli, Zach Gilford, Samantha Sloyan, and Matt Biedel.
