About the series

What it’s about

Luke Ellis, a 14-year-old genius, is kidnapped and wakes in The Institute, a facility holding children with unusual abilities. All were taken against their will. The Institute cares only about their supernatural gifts, ignoring Luke's kindness and intelligence—qualities he will need to fight for freedom.

What hooks you

Based on Stephen King's novel, the series features Ben Barnes as Tim Jamieson and Mary-Louise Parker as Ms. Sigsby. It received two Saturn Award nominations in 2026, including Best Horror Television Series.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like psychological horror with a slow-burning sense of dread and stories about children confronting sinister institutions.
