Alfie Allen (“Game of Thrones,” The Predator) has joined the Season 2 cast of MGM+’s “The Institute,” based on Stephen King‘s 2019 novel of the same name, Deadline reports.
The Emmy nominee will play Nolan Reeves, an eccentric European tech billionaire and one of the Institute’s financial backers with an ambitious agenda all his own.
Allen joins returning cast members Joe Freeman, Ben Barnes, Mary-Louise Parker, Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Robert Joy, Arlen So, Jeff Fahey, and Hannah Galway.
Production is currently underway on the supernatural horror series in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Picking up after the first season finale, Season 2 follows Luke Ellis (Freeman), Tim Jamieson (Barnes), and their fellow survivors as they work to expose the Institute’s crimes while staying one step ahead of the army of killers on their tail.
Meanwhile, the ruthless and calculating Ms. Sigsby (Parker) pursues her quest for vengeance and a return to power, in the process discovering more about the deep inner workings of the Institute than she ever could have imagined.
King executive produces alongside writer Benjamin Cavell (“The Stand,” Justified”) and director Jack Bender (“Mr. Mercedes,” Child’s Play 3).
“The Institute” scored MGM+’s best-ever premiere when it debuted last July.
