Sadly, Netflix won't be renewing the young adult horror series for a second season, despite pretty favorable reviews (including CNET's own). The Midnight Club managed only a three-week run in Netflix's top 10 viewed shows chart, never claiming the No. 1 spot. Another likely factor in the decision is co-creator Mike Flanagan's production company Int...
The origins of the Paragon cult are all recorded in a diary that was kept by the cult leader's disillusioned 16-year-old daughter, Athena. Athena wrote that the commune was started in 1931 by her mother, Regina Ballard. After Ballard's husband died of pneumonia and her son of polio, she began a new age health philosophy -- "a naturopathic alternati...
It should have come as no surprise that Shasta (sanskrit for "teacher") -- the all-too friendly founder of Good Humor Wellness, a naturopathic company sourcing ingredients around Brightcliffe -- is really ex-Brightcliffe patient Julia Jayne. Like Ilonka, Julia was also diagnosed with thyroid cancer in the throat as a teenager. She founded The Midni...
What's Dr. Stanton's true identity?
Just when there's a sense of acceptance and calm within Brightcliffe Hospice, Dr. Stanton reveals in the final cliffhanger scene that she -- like many of the other cancer patients -- is bald and wears a wig. Except, when she takes her wig off for the night, a tattoo of an hourglass can be seen on the back of her neck, just like Regina Ballard.
Is Dr. Stanton part of the Paragon cult?
Just like the many stories told in The Midnight Club, you can interpret the meaning behind Dr. Stanton's appearance in multiple ways. It's pretty likely Stanton was once a believer in the Paragon's methods, even if she doesn't currently practice them. She was definitely aware of the Paragon, having acquired their books and teachings after purchasing the house. Maybe Stanton attempted to use the Paragon ritual on her sick son, Julian. But Julian is apparently no longer alive, so the method did...
Is Dr. Stanton good or bad?
There's another way to look at Stanton's intentions. Despite everything Stanton has said about caring for her patients as a doctor, she might still be using the Paragon's methods. Why else has she kept the basement in the same state as it was during the time of the commune? Maybe Julian is still alive in some form. To keep him alive, Stanton has been using the house and its special properties -- that's why she goes to great lengths to keep Julia and the new Paragon cult out of the picture. In...
You bet! Flanagan likes to pepper in satisfying Easter eggs throughout his shows and The Midnight Club -- co-created with The Haunting of Bly Manor producer and writer Leah Fong -- is no exception. 1. The cool slanting graphic design of The Midnight Club's title card looks to be inspired by Christopher Pike's novel, aka the source material. One of ...
Yes! The story of The Midnight Club is based on Christopher Pike's young adult novel of the same name. The stories the members of The Midnight Club tell each other are drawn from Pike's other novels, including The Wicked Heart, Gimme a Kiss, See You Later, Witch, Road to Nowhere and The Eternal Enemy. Pike drew inspiration for The Midnight Club fro...
The Brightcliffe house itself doesn't actually exist. While a portion of the house's facade was set up on the filming site in Pitt Meadows, Vancouver, the majority of the exterior was created through VFX magic. According to a Netflix press release, the Zoic Studios effects team scanned a house in Maine as the VFX basis for Brightcliffe's gothic ext...
