We’re getting the first extended look at Season 2 in a new trailer for MGM+‘s thriller horror series The Institute, based on the bestselling Stephen King novel.
It includes the first footage of new cast member, Game of Thrones’ alum Alfie Allen as Nolan Reeves, an eccentric European tech billionaire and one of the Institute’s financial backers with an ambitious agenda all his own.
“Nolan Reeves, I’d be delighted to have your help,” Allen’s Reeves is told. Luke Ellis – “I want to know his weak spots,'” said Reeves.
Per the logline, Season 2 picks up following Luke and friends’ escape from Dennison as they search for a way to end the Institute for good. Meanwhile, The Director enlists a new ally, tech billionaire Nolan Reeves (Allen), to help him rebuild, and Sigsby’s life as a fugitive pushes her to seek a way back “in”.
Returning cast includes Joe Freeman as Luke Ellis, Ben Barnes as Tim Jamieson, Mary Louise Parker as Ms. Sigsby, Simone Miller as Kalisha, Fionn Laird as Nicky, Arlen So as George, Robert Joy as Dr. Hendricks and Hannah Galway as Wendy.
Series is executive produced by King, Jack Bender, Benjamin Cavell, who penned the teleplay, Gary Barber, Sam Sheridan, Ed Redlich and Michael Mahoney. Jack Bender directs. The series premieres exclusively on MGM+ in the U.S., UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia. Amazon MGM Studios Distribution will distribute in all other international territories.
Season 2 of The Institute premieres November 8 on MGM+.
