The Institute S1
When 12-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.
Based on the Stephen King bestseller, The Institute introduces Joe Freeman as Luke, opposite the likes of Ben Barnes (Shadow & Bone, Chronicles of Narnia) as Tim and Emmy winner Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds) as Ms Sigsby.
The Institute is directed and executive produced by Emmy winner Jack Bender (Lost, Game of Thrones).
