description

The Institute is MGM+'s adaptation of Stephen King's 2019 best-selling novel, a chilling science-fiction thriller about children whose extraordinary minds make them targets. Developed by showrunner Benjamin Cavell and executive producer Jack Bender — the team behind MGM+'s earlier King adaptation Mr. Mercedes — the series brings one of the author's most propulsive recent books to the screen with a strong pedigree in King's particular brand of small-town dread and institutional menace.

The story follows Luke Ellis (Joe Freeman), a teenage prodigy who is abducted from his home and wakes up in the Institute, a secretive facility where children with telekinetic and telepathic abilities are held and their powers systematically exploited. Mary-Louise Parker plays Ms. Sigsby, the coldly efficient administrator who runs the operation, while Ben Barnes plays Tim Jamieson, a drifting ex-cop who takes a job as a night watchman in the nearby town and becomes an unexpected thread in Luke's fight to escape. The two storylines circle each other toward a collision.

The series became a strong performer for MGM+, holding the top spot on the platform and earning a quick renewal for a second season, extending a run of successful King adaptations. Reviews praised its faithful, unsettling atmosphere and its young cast, singling out the eerie premise as a natural fit for prestige-horror television. It streams on MGM+.

Outer Limits

Horror & Suspense

In each episode, "The Outer Limits" attempted to answer, "What is the nature of man?" Producers called their collection of stories, developed from radically different points of view but always mixing science fact with pseudo-science fiction and the occasional monster, an "anthology." Regular viewers mostly called it "deliciously creepy," indulging a natural tendency to compare it with its counter-part and sometimes rival "The Twilight Zone." Unlike Rod Serling's spine-tingling vignettes, though, "The Outer Limits" did not shy away from old-fashioned horror and raw sensation. "The Outer Limits" was as visceral as "The Twilight Zone" was cerebral. Many episodes dealt with time travel, stranding adventurers in threatening environments where their intellects and technology failed them, triggering their reversion to primitive states. Others explored the infinite possibilities for human evolution and mutation, all with emphasis on the most hideous possibilities. ABC aired "The Outer Limits" between 1963 and 1966; Showtime revived it in 1995, and the Sci-Fi Channel replayed all the episodes between 1999 and 2002. The complete "anthology" now is available on OnlineTVcast.
