hits.

MGM+ announced today that production on the second season of the hit thriller horror series ‘The Institute’ has begun in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones) joins the cast playing Nolan Reeves, an eccentric European tech billionaire and one of the Institute’s financial backers with an ambitious agenda all his own. Allen joins returning season two cast members Ben Barnes, Mary-Louise Parker, Joe Freeman, Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Robert Joy, Arlen So, Jeff Fahey and Hannah Galway.

‘The Institute’ Season Two follows Luke Ellis, Tim Jamieson, and their fellow survivors in the aftermath of Season One’s explosive climax as they work to expose the Institute’s crimes while staying one step ahead of the army of killers on their tail. Meanwhile, the ruthless and calculating Ms. Sigsby pursues her quest for vengeance and a return to power, in the process discovering more about the deep inner workings of the Institute than she ever could have imagined.

“I love Xmas music and wanted to write something about the precious and sometimes fleeting nature of holidays spent with the people we love. But I also wanted it to be a nostalgia and soul-infused banger!” (Source)
