The Institute Season 1

An eight-episode series from director and executive producer Jack Bender, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King in 2019. 12-year-old genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped and wakes up in a mysterious institution full of children who have ended up there the same way he did, possessing unusual abilities. Luke learns that they all ended up here against their will. Meanwhile, former police officer Tim Jamieson, haunted by ghosts, arrives in a neighboring town to start a new life, but peace and tranquility are short-lived as his story is destined to intersect with Luke's story. The Institute is only interested in the supernatural gifts of the children, paying no attention to Luke's kindness and intelligence. However, it is these qualities that will help him fight for freedom...
