If you're a Stephen King fan, you've probably noticed that the author is having one hell of a 2025. His latest novel, Never Flinch, is a hit; multiple adaptations of King stories have earned widespread praise (including Osgood Perkins' The Monkey, Mike Flanagan's The Life Of Chuck, and the hyped upcoming release of The Long Walk from director Francis Lawrence); the Carrie limited series started production; and the first draft of The Talisman 3 has been completed. That's a lot of awesome jammed into just the first eight months of the year, but the good news just keeps coming: it has been announced today that a second season of The Institute has been given the green light ahead of the Season 1 finale that is set to debut this Sunday.
Stephen King posted the news personally on his Twitter account with an accompanying video that you can check out below:
