Flanagan recently told Empire that the series, which is intended as a gateway to horror for younger audiences, would not hold back on the scares.
He said that "one of the big things we assumed was that the younger viewers could handle scares", but added that he "wouldn’t subject a viewer of The Midnight Club to an eight-minute monologue" – referring to the long speeches that viewers of his others series have become accustomed to.
The Midnight Club will be available to stream on Netflix from 7th October 2022. Looking for something else to watch? Check out the best series on Netflix and the best movies on Netflix, or see what else is on with our TV Guide.
