Meet the cast of The Midnight Club on Netflix
Iman Benson leads the cast as Ilonka, one of the patients at the hospice.
Horror genius Mike Flanagan’s latest Netflix series The Midnight Club has finally landed on the streamer.
Based on the novel by Christopher Pike as well as his other earlier works, The Midnight Club follows a group of terminally ill teenagers in a hospice designed specifically for young people, who gather every night to tell each other scary stories. That is, until strange events begin to occur and leave the club members reeling.
The cast of The Midnight Club is comprised largely of young actors who the series is likely to catapult to fame overnight. Iman Benson (#BlackAF) leads the cast as Ilonka, a new admission to the hospice, who’s put in a shared room alongside one of the hospice’s most troubled patients, Anya (Ruth Codd).
