“The Midnight Club”: Mike Flanagan Reveals What We Would’ve Seen in Season Two

The Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong-created series “The Midnight Club” marked the first Netflix series for Flanagan that was intended to continue over multiple seasons, which meant that the inaugural season ended with multiple unresolved storylines and cliffhangers.

The news of the series cancellation leaves fans disappointed that those loose ends will remain unresolved, or does it?

Flanagan fulfilled his promise on Twitter not to leave fans hanging in the wake of the cancellation news, providing detailed plans for what we would’ve seen had season two come to pass.

In a blog post, Flanagan answers the mysteries of Dr. Stanton (Heather Langenkamp) and her ties to Brightcliffe Hospice’s cult past, the true identity of the Janitor (Robert Longstreet), what the Shadow is, and the fates of central characters introduced in the inaugural season.

More than wrapping up story threads, Flanagan reveals more Pike novels planned for the second season. He writes, “Remember Me is one of my all-time favorite Pike books – it tells the story of a teenage girl who is pushed off a balcony, and awakens as a ghost. She has to navigate being a spirit while trying to solve her own murder. We would have stretched this story out over 5 episodes.”

Pike’s 1992 novel Monster was another up for consideration for season two.

“The Midnight Club” is a YA series adaptation of Christopher Pike‘s 1994 novel that also adapted other Pike stories. The eponymous club included eight terminally ill patients at Brightcliffe Hospice who meet each night at midnight to trade sinister stories and look for signs of life beyond death.

The cast for Mike Flanagan’s series includes Iman Benson, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, Annarah Cymone, William Chris Sumpter, Adia, Aya Furukawa, Sauriyan Sapkota, Matt Biedel, Samantha Sloyan, with Zach Gilford.

Still to come from Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy at Netflix is next year’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” a brand new horror series based on the classic works of Edgar Allan Poe.
