The professional relationship Netflix and Mike Flanagan It has given us great joy, but what they are not going to be happy about on the platform is the tremendous failure that ‘The Midnight Club’ has had. It was clear that the idea was to have at least a second season, but that possibility becomes remote at best.
According to the data provided by the platform itself, ‘El club de la midnight’ has debuted with 18.79 million hours played during its first days on the platform. a ridiculous number and that places it below the debuts of ‘File 81’, which had 22.22 million in the same period, or ‘The first death’, which went to 30.34 million in three days, two series that Netflix He did not hesitate to cancel in a sudden way.
There is always the possibility that this adaptation of the novel by Christopher Pike soars dramatically during its second week on Netflix, but right now I wouldn’t be surprised if the platform announces its cancellation this very week. Of course, here they will not be able to play the card that it was actually a miniseries, because the story is not closed at all.
Let’s hope this doesn’t affect the bond between Netflix and Flanagan., well, the truth is that ‘Midnight Mass’ wasn’t exactly an audience bomb either. We’ll see if that changes with his adaptation of ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ which should hit the platform this coming year.
