The Institute is coming back. Collider reports that MGM+ released the first trailer for Season 2 this morning and confirmed a November 8 return. New episodes will air weekly after the premiere.

The series is written and showrun by Benjamin Cavell, adapting Stephen King's sci-fi horror novel. The first season arrived on MGM+ in July last year. Season 2's ensemble includes Joe Freeman, Ben Barnes, Mary Louise Parker, Alfie Allen, Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Arlen So, Robert Joy, and Hannah Galway.

Collider also shares the official synopsis: after the escape from Dennison, Luke and his friends search for a way to end the Institute for good, while The Director recruits tech billionaire Nolan Reeves to help rebuild and Sigsby, now a fugitive, tries to find a way back in.

If you liked the first season, this one looks like more of the same dread. The trailer promises four kinds of nightmares, per Collider. Catch up on Season 1 on MGM+ and mark Nov. 8 for the return.
