Now that the kids of the Institute have broken out of the facility, they have to figure out how to bring down the super-secretive organization in the new trailer for the second season of the series. 

Joe Freeman stars as Luke Ellis, one of many young people kidnapped and experimented on in “The Institute” because they have special abilities. Now that he and a group of other kids have escaped the facility in Season 1, they must figure out how to remain free. They learn the Institute is a much bigger organization than they realized. 

The series also stars Ben Barnes as Tim Jamieson, a police officer helping Luke, and Mary-Louise Parker as Julia Sigsby, the director of the Institute. Joining Season 2 is Alfie Allen, who plays an evil tech billionaire. 

Season 2 of the Stephen King adaptation debuts on MGM+ on Nov. 8.  Catch up on everything we know about the series here.
