Based on Stephen King's 2019 novel, 'The Institute' is a supernatural horror series that released on 13th July through MGM+. Luke Ellis, a 14-year-old telekinetic prodigy, is abducted and brought to a frightening institution where children with unusual powers are cruelly experimented on. The show is directed by Jack Bender, who has directed 'Mr. Mercedes' and 'Under the Dome,' and stars Ben Barnes, Mary-Louise Parker, and Joe Freeman. Because of its themes of government conspiracy and psychic talents, the adaptation has been compared to 'Stranger Things' and 'Severance' and has been praised for its dark, unsettling tone.

Even though there are many Stephen King adaptations released every year, only few of them are able to capture the excitement and shivers of the author's books.

It appears to be significantly superior to the majority of Stephen King television series that have been released in recent years, though.
