Trailer for "The Institute" released.
The first trailer for "The Institute" was released this week, and it's absolutely going to spark interest of people who like paranormal and sci-fi content.
Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
Lots to unpack here. First, I'm getting some serious "Stranger Things" vibes from the trailer. That's not a bad thing.
It's a great thing. The trailer is legit, and I'm very intrigued about what we might get with "The Institute." It looks like MGM+ might have another hit on its hands.
That leads me to my second point. The streaming platform has a solid record of success with this kind of content.
"From" is an *OUTSTANDING* show that's in a similar genre, although with more of a focus on horror. It's one of the best shows on TV. You have to judge a network by what it's produced, and MGM+ already crushed one home run.
Can it do it again with "The Institute"? I would say hope is high.
"The Institute" comes out July 13th on MGM+. (Credit: MGM+ via Amazon Press Site)
Finally, Ben Barnes being in the cast is reason enough alone to watch it. His performance in the first season of "Westworld" is nothing short of legendary.
The man is a great talent, even if he gets a fraction of the praise he deserves. Having him in the show is a huge plus.
