Game of Thrones star joins season 2 of Stephen King's The Institute
Gamesradar reported Alfie Allen is set to star in the second season of Stephen King's The Institute. Per Deadline, Allen will star as Nolan Reeves, an eccentric European tech billionaire who is "one of the Institute’s financial backers with an ambitious agenda all his own." The series, based on the 2019 Stephen King novel of the same name, stars Joe Freeman as Luke Ellis, a young genius who is kidnapped and wakes up in a mysterious building known as the Institute alongside other children with telepathic and telekinetic powers who are put through a series of near-fatal tests organized by Julia Sigsby (Mary-Louise Parker).
Elsewhere, Tim (Ben Barnes) is a new-to-town police officer who begins his own private investigation into the mysterious Institute. Season 2 picks up where season 1 left off, following Luke, Tim, 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.
