Netflix has cancelled Mike Flanagan’s younger-skewing horror series “The Midnight Club” after one season.
The cancellation comes just hours after executive producers Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy exited their overall deal at Netflix for a new one at Amazon Studios.
The project was the second last of “The Haunting of Hill House” and “Midnight Mass” creator’s works for the streaming giant, the last being the limited series “The Fall of the House of Usher” due to premiere next year.
Unlike all of Flanagan’s other work, “The Midnight Club” was designed to be a potential ongoing series, and it followed terminally ill teens living at the supernatural-infused Brightcliffe Hospice. Flanagan has previously indicated that should a second season not be produced, he will share his idea of what one would’ve been.
The series consisted of ten episodes, the first breaking the world record for most jump scares in a TV episode. It launched on October 7th and saw appearances from some Flanagan regulars in small or supporting roles, including Samantha Sloyan, Zach Gilford and Rahul Kohli.
