Production has commenced on the second season of “The Institute,” based on Stephen King‘s 2019 novel of the same name.

Hailing from writer Benjamin Cavell (“The Stand,” Justified”) and director Jack Bender (“Mr. Mercedes,” Child’s Play 3), the supernatural horror series will return on MGM+ later this year.

Ben Barnes, Joe Freeman, Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Hannah Galway, and Arlen So are back to star, with additional casting to be announced.

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