The first set photo fromThe Midnight Clubis here to let us know that Mike Flanagan’s new Netflix series has started filming. The photo of a clapperboard was published by Flanagan himself on his officialTwitteraccount. Flanagan captioned the photo with a spirited “And we’re off!” to commemorate the production moment, too.
The Midnight Clubis based on the book of the same name byChristopherPike. The book follows a group of teenagers in a home for terminally-ill patients who get together everyday at midnight to share scary stories. The group also makes a pact that the first of them to die is bound to contact the others from the beyond, which, of course, brings around some spooky consequences. Thecast ofThe Midnight Clubwas revealedlast month, and includes fan-favoriteHeather Langenkamp, the heroine fromA Nightmare on Elm Street, as well as familiar faceZach Gilford(Friday Night Lights).

Flanagan is already known for transforming horror stories into TV hits withThe Haunting of Hill House, based on the classicShirley Jacksonnovel, andThe Haunting of Bly Manor, which was loosely based on the works of Henry James but primarily draws on his storyThe Turn of the Screw. The director was also behind the highly-acclaimed movie adaptation of Stephen King’s bookDoctor Sleep, a sequel toThe Shining. Flanagan has proven himself more than capable of adapting horror stories into great films and TV shows, and at this point, we can happily anticipate any new project the director decides to throw our way.
There’s still no set date for the release ofThe Midnight Club.In the meantime, Flanagan fans get to look forward toMidnight Mass, the first Netflix show from the director which wrapped filming last December and is set to premiere in 2021. Check out the first set photo forThe Midnight Clubbelow:
