Plot

The story of The Midnight
Club, which is a 10-episode series based on Christopher Pike’s novel and other
works, is about a group of terminally sick teenagers who share a hospice that
is created for young people. They assemble in the facility’s well-stocked
library to share stories, where they agree that the first person to die will
contact the other in their afterlife, if there is one.

 Trailer

Netflix had posted a
three-minute trailer of The Midnight Club in September 2022. It starts with a
