The Institute
Created by Benjamin Cavell
On MGM+
A tense psychological thriller about gifted children imprisoned in a sinister facility, blending mystery and sci-fi horror with high paranoia and sustained dread.
When 14 year old genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped, he awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did, and who are all possessed of unusual abilities. In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson has come looking to start a new life, but the peace and quiet won’t last, as his story and Luke’s are destined to collide.
