Netflix & Mike Flanagan Team For New Series Based on Christopher Pike’s MIDNIGHT CLUB
Doctor Sleep and The Haunting of Hill House director Mike Flanagan will adapt Christopher Pike’s 1994 novel The Midnight Club for Netflix. The series would also incorporate other Pike works.
Flanagan confirmed his involvement over on Twitter, writing: “I began brainstorming an adaptation of THE MIDNIGHT CLUB as a teenager, so this is a dream come true. It’s an honor to introduce a new generation of young horror fans to the world of Christopher Pike. Oh, and for you fellow Pike fans out there… the article is correct, we will be incorporating a lot of his books into the series. So whatever your favorite Pike book is, there’s a chance it’ll be part of the show.“

The book tells the tale of Rotterdam Home, a hospice for terminally ill teenagers where a group of patients gathers together at midnight to share scary stories. They eventually make a pact that whichever of them dies first will contact the others from beyond the grave. Moo-Haha.
Elan Gale, James Flanagan, and Chinaka Hodge will write the series which Flanagan will create with Leah Fong. Flanagan and Fong will executive produce with Trevor Macy and Julia Bicknell.
