MGM+ has renewed its hit thriller horror series The Institute for a second season, commissioning eight new episodes based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel.

The series comes from MGM+ Studios, with King serving as executive producer alongside director Jack Bender (Lost, Game of Thrones, Mr. Mercedes, FROM) and writer Benjamin Cavell (Justified, The Stand).

Season 1 delivered MGM+’s best premiere ever, signaling strong interest in the adaptation. The cast featured Ben Barnes, Mary-Louise Parker, Joe Freeman, and an ensemble including Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Jason Diaz, and Jane Luk. Casting for the second season will be announced later.

Stephen King:

“Set free but hunted, new dangers await the escapees from the Institute and I can’t wait.”

Jack Bender and Benjamin Cavell, Executive Producers:

“We’ve been so gratified by the response to our first season, which is a testament to the dedication of our fantastic cast and crew. We’re thrilled that Michael Wright and everyone at MGM have enabled us to continue Stephen’s powerful and timely story. From this project’s inception, we’ve felt there would be much more story to tell as our brilliant characters continue to navigate their way through the dangers of the world they’re facing.”

Michael Wright, Head of MGM+:

“The Institute has thrilled audiences with its distinctive storytelling and exceptional performances that expertly bring the singular voice of Stephen King to the screen. We’re so happy to be able to continue and expand this chilling journey and dive even deeper into the secrets of The Institute in season two.”

Season 2 of The Institute will premiere exclusively on MGM+ in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia, with Amazon MGM Studios Distribution handling all other international territories.
