MGM+ has renewed The Institute for a second season. The horror series is based on the Stephen King novel. Season one follows the story of teen genius Luke Ellis, who is kidnapped and awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did and who are all possessed of unusual abilities. In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson has come looking to start a new life, but the peace and quiet won’t last, as his story and Luke’s are destined to collide. Season one starred Ben Barnes, Mary-Louise Parker, Joe Freeman and an ensemble cast that included Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Jason Diaz, and Jane Luk. Casting for season two will be announced at a later date.
