‘The Institute’: Ben Barnes & Mary-Louise Parker To Star In Series Ordered By MGM+ Based On Stephen King’s Novel


MGM+ has given a series order to The Institute from Jack Bender & Benjamin Cavell based on Stephen King's novel. Ben Barnes & Mary-Louise Parker star.

In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson (Barnes) 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. Barnes’ Tim Jamieson is a disillusioned ex-cop who takes a job as the night knocker in a small town, withdrawing from the world until Luke’s plight reignites him and gives him something to believe in. Bender has extensive experience in King series adaptations, having executive produced CBS’ Under The Dome; Audience’s Mr. Mercedes, whose Season 1 cast included Parker; and HBO’s The Outsider.
