Written by Ben David Grabinski (SKIPTRACE) and directed by Dean Israelite (POWER RANGERS, PROJECT ALMANAC), the three-episode hourlong limited series introduces an entirely new Midnight Society group of kids who tell
a terrifying tale about the Carnival of Doom and its evil ringmaster Mr. Top Hat, only to witness the shocking story come frightfully to life.
The cast currently Sam Ashe Arnold (Best.Worst.Weekend.Ever.), Miya Cech (RIM OF THE WORLD), Tamara Smart (Artemis Fowl), Lyliana Wray (TOP GUN: MAVERICK), Rafael Casal (BLINDSPOTTING), and IT and GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN star Jeremy Taylor. Nice!
Arnold, Cech, Smart, Taylor, and Wray are the new members of the Midnight Society while Casal will be playing The Carnival of Doom’s ringmaster, Mr. Tophat. The limited series is produced by ACE Entertainment (TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE) with ACE founder Matt Kaplan and Spencer Berman serving as executive producers.
