Netflix Cancels THE MIDNIGHT CLUB After One Season as Mike Flanagan Signs Deal with Amazon Studios

Netflix has canceled the young adult horror series The Midnight Club after one season. The series came from Mike Flanagan, the creator of shows such as The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass.

News of the cancelation comes after the series’ executive producers Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy signed a deal with Amazon Studios and will be leaving Netflix. With that being the case, it makes sense that Netflix would cancel the series. Flanagan’s Intrepid Pictures has been working with Netflix under a deal made in 2019. Amazon obviously offered them something better.

I actually enjoyed The Midnight Club, which is an adaptation of the book written by Christopher Pike that centers on a group of terminally ill teenagers. The story is set at Rotterdam Home, a hospice for these teenagers. Eight patients come together every night at midnight to tell each other stories – and make a pact that the next of them to die will give the group a sign from the beyond.

The series starred Adia, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, William Chris Sumpter, Aya Furukawa, Annarah Shephard, and Sauriyan Sapkota. They are joined by Zach Gilford, Samantha Sloyan, and Matt Biedel, along with A Nightmare on Elm Street's Heather Langenkamp, who plays the enigmatic doctor who runs the teens' hospice.
