Following Netflix’s removal of The Midnight Clubshow producer and writer Mike Flanagan is issued a statement on what the second season of the show would look like.
Adoption Christopher Pike’s book of the same name, The Midnight Club they are placed in the hospice, where they gather nightly in the nurses’ library to share information. false news. This series is a great love letter to the power of storytelling, and most of all, friendship in solving existential problems and dealing with disturbing truths. Like any Flanagan brand, The Midnight Club‘s black heads they’re easily wrapped up in a fun, cult-based mystery with charismatic characters to match, and our beloved club members take us along for the ride.
Considering that the show boasted a lot of plot, including the situation of its characters, the location of the hospice cult, and the murderous threat on top of it all, the cancellation of Season 1 obviously left many questions unanswered. But Flanagan has taken it deep words on Tumblr going to all the nitty-gritty things that would be The Midnight ClubSeason 2.

As revealed by Flanagan, Amesh (Sauriyan Sapkota) will be Brightcliffe’s next patient to die, followed by Natsuki (Aya Furukawa), as the two spend their last days together in what would be a shock to the audience. Meanwhile, Kevin’s (Igby Rigney) and Ilonka’s (Iman Benson) health also took a turn for the worse, as the two shared a short and sweet romantic moment.

On the other hand, Spencer’s (William Chris Sumpter) story was changing, due to the advent of HIV treatment in the mid-1990s, and he left the hospice and was no longer sick.
While the fates of many of our loved ones were dark reminders of the reality we wished we could change, The Midnight ClubSeason two would have followed more of their journeys in making peace with their illness: the peace they find and embrace, and their memories living in the stories we share because of them, about them, and with them.

The Midnight Club‘s the finale surprised us all and reveal that Dr. Stanton (Heather Langenkamp) was not who we thought she was. As Flanagan confirmed, she is Athena, the daughter of the Paragon cleric who started the event at the hospice, and the people we are living with now who are going through a lot of trouble afterwards. Dr. Stanton took Brightcliffe to right his mother’s wrongs and help people instead of, you know, sacrificing them.
Flanagan also revealed that Dr. Stanton was wearing a wig because he also has cancer and is receiving treatment (his treatment would be successful, and he would receive remission, he said), elevating his role in the show from a normal mediator. a philanthropist who is in the same boat as these children.

Remember that dark shadow following children around that we all thought was death? Well, it turns out it wasn’t! The dark shadow was actually an extension of the children – a great reflection of their anxiety about the unknown. On the other hand, the real face of death in the show was the manager of the hospice (Robert Longstreet), who only appeared to the children when they were about to die and guided them through assuring them that everything would be okay. get well.
Meanwhile, two other scary old ghosts lurking in the corridors of the infirmary were Stanley Oscar Freelan and his wife, who built Brightcliffe in the first place. And what do you think? He didn’t come back to scare the kids! They basically relive Ilonka and Kevin’s past lives, with Flanagan revealing that in a past life Ilonka was Stanley Freelan and Kevin was his wife. Their lives have met each other in every life since then, falling in love again and again. That’s why Ilonka and Kevin were the only two patients who saw ghosts – it was a picture of themselves. So in true Flanagan fashion, the ghosts weren’t all bad, of course!
Netflix’s ‘The Midnight Club’ review: A horror movie that isn’t afraid to talk about death.
The Midnight Club it was a painful but powerful piece of television, painting a realistic picture of what death looks like on your doorstep. His suspension is obviously disappointing, but we have Flanagan’s Tumblr post to use as we mourn. In the meantime, check it out Flanagan’s words to yourself or watch The Midnight Club on Netflix.
