What We Can Expect If The Midnight Club Gets A Season 2

Season 1 of “The Midnight Club” ended on an intentional cliffhanger but poses the unique challenge of how to return to a series where the main characters are at risk of dying at any moment. “If season 2 includes any time jump, we might have seen the last of some of our favorite characters,” Flanagan said. While Netflix has not given an official go-ahead for the second season, Flanagan told Collider that if the series were to return, they wouldn’t jump pretty far ahead in time. “For a lot of our characters, they don’t have too much time for us to burn,” he said. “So we would be coming in relatively tight, I think to where we left off.”

Regardless of how much we love the characters, their deaths are oddly part of the show’s internal timetable. “That’s the thing, though, about this show is if it does continue, there will have to be a new cast,” Flanagan said. “And they’ll have to kind of come in one at a time as people go.” 

As deeply upsetting as this thought is, terminal illnesses are an unfortunate part of life. When dealing with a character diagnosed as terminal while they’re still very young, it’s hard to say goodbye to someone we’re just starting to get to know. As show co-creator Leah Fong described it, “Hopefully, we were able to have some nice emotional arcs that fulfill themselves, but then, you know, mythological stuff.”
