Ilonka’s stubborn refusal to accept her fate drives the main action of Midnight Club‘s ten hour-long episodes, as we soon discover her true motive for coming to Brightcliffe lay in a desperate hope. Nevertheless, the results feel of a piece with his other handsomely mounted, emotionally driven dramas, down to the stately, probably haunted mansion and the long, searching monologues about heady topics like love, death and mortality. Like co-creator Mike Flanagan’s previous series The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor (the latter of which had Midnight Club co-creator Leah Fong as producer), The Midnight Club is a literary adaptation, albeit of rather less august material - it’s based on the YA horror novels of Christopher Pike. Cast: Iman Benson, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, Annarah Cymone, Chris Sumpter, Adia, Aya Furukawa, Sauriyan Sapkota, Matt Biedel, Samantha Sloyan, Zach Gilford, Heather Langenkamp ![]()
