Netflix: Premature end for a popular horror series   

New knife in the Netflix series that came with time but did not touch

A premature end to yet another popular series that became trending is even put on Netflix. As reported by The Wrap, Netflix has canceled Mike Flanagan ‘s The Midnight Club and thus the young horror series will not return for a 2nd season . 

Midnight Club debuted on October 7th to positive reviews from audiences and critics. The reasons behind its cancellation are said to be ultimately the viewing figures it did, which were not what was expected despite staying for three weeks in the Netflix Top 10. 

Of course, a Netflix series starting from the 4th place in the Top 10 charts is not the best case, and then it faced stiff competition from series that literally broke ratings records like ” Dahmer ” and ” The Watcher “, together with ” Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities ” and ” Big Mouth” among others. 

The news of the discontinuation of the latest series from the talented Mike Flanagan comes in the wake of his move to Amazon Studios and Amazon Prime Video . In particular, the production company of Intrepid Pictures together with its partner Mike Tracy signed a golden multi-year contract for the production of series on Amazon’s streaming service. 

However, until then Flanagan has one last series to deliver for Netflix, ” The Fall of the House of Usher ” which will be a modern adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s story of the same name. 

The official series synopsis:

In a care center for young adults in the final stages, eight patients gather every night at midnight to tell each other stories and agree that the next one to die will give the group a sign from the other world. The Midnight Club is based on the 1994 novel of the same name, as well as other works by Christopher Pike.

To those who came before, to those who came after. To us now and to those to come: welcome to The Midnight Club, a new Netflix horror series from Mike Flanagan and the producers of The Demons of Hill House and Midnight Mass.

The cast includes  Adia, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, William Chris Sumpter, Aya Furukawa, Annarah Shephard  and  Sauriyan Sapkota , as members of the “Midnight Club”. Also starring:  Zach Gilford, Matt Biedel, Samantha Sloyan, Iman Benson, Larsen Thompson, William B. Davis, Crystal Balint and Patricia Drake, and Heather Langenkamp  of the Nightmare on Elm Street films also stars.

The Midnight Club is available on Netflix.
