Following the end of season 1 today on MGM+, is there a lot more to say about The Institute season 2? What more can you expect?

Well, first and foremost, here is your reminder that the Stephen King adaptation has already been renewed for another season and because of that, you really do not have to worry about the future there. This order came in mere days ago, but it is nonetheless a nice thing to know about as reassurance. Clearly the network / streamer believe in the property, with the hope here being that it can develop down the line into a staple that is similar to FROM, arguably their largest hit.

Now, there is a pretty massive case to be made at this point that The Institute is going to be coming back next year, and it has a lot to do with the cast. Or, to be specific, the ages of some of these cast members. If you still want this show to be about kids being put in a perilous position, you can’t just go full Stranger Things and take forever. Given that the next FROM season is already in production, we assume that it will be the first order of business. After that, though, you can start to move forward into what is coming after the fact with this show.

In general, we’re going to be happy just as long as we start to hear a lot more news about the future by next summer. We know that the series is going past the events of King’s book, but it does seem like there is a larger plan for the future.
