The Midnight Club is expected to be a 10-episode horror series on Netflix. It is based on the creative works of bestselling author Christopher Pike from his book of the same name, published by Simon and Schuster in 1994. It takes place at Rotterdam Home, a hospice where teenagers with terminal illnesses went to die. The book centers around a group of five young men and women who gather at midnight and told stories of intrigue and horror. One night they made a pact that the first of them to die would make every effort to contact the others from beyond the grave.
