“The Midnight Club ss 2”: release date, announcement
The continuation of the detective thriller “The Midnight Club” has not yet been officially announced, although according to unofficial data, the season 2 can be seen in the fall of 2023.
The TV show is based on the books by Christopher Pike, and the creators have enough material to extend it for at least 3 seasons.
Plot
Stanford University, crazy parties and complete self-reliance have always been present in Ilonka. Raised by her father, she tried to bring only the best into her life and never thought about death. The next party was the beginning of the end for her: the girl found traces of blood after she coughed unsuccessfully. This alarmed her.
Deciding to get checked out in a medical clinic, she discovers that she is a carrier of carcinoma — a tumor that very quickly devours healthy cells in the body. A person quickly loses weight, feels unwell, the immune system weakens and does not give the patient the opportunity to recover. If a person does not detect carcinoma in advance, then he can die in a matter of days. Ilonka has a few months left.
When the usual treatment ceases to bring results, the girl leaves for the hospice — there are many of the same teenagers who have very little time left. Some live here for months, waiting to die. But Ilonka, although she is sick, is not able to accept the fact of her imminent death. Giving up is definitely not about her. To begin with, she decides to get to know her neighbors better.
Soon the girl learns that teenagers gather every midnight in a secret place. There they drink alcohol, tell each other scary stories, share experiences and try to think less about death as something bad. Here, Ilonka finds friends with similar interests, because sooner or later all of them will have to say goodbye to their loved ones and go to the other world.
The guys conclude an oral agreement, according to which the first one who succumbs to his illness will have to give a sign from the other world. Soon one of them dies, and the rest become hostages of the situation. They receive frightening signals from the underworld, and Ilonka decides that the guys have a real chance to save themselves and their friends from the disease.
Everything turns out to be more complicated than it seems. Some no longer want to escape and become victims of demons, which Ilonka is ready to release outside. Will the friends in the club be able to escape, or will the girl only make it worse if she tries to help them? For Ilonka, the choice is obvious and she will stop at nothing.
