The Midnight Club: 5 Best Characters In The Netflix Series
Throughout all 10 episodes of Mike Flanagan's new Netflix horror series The Midnight Club, the teenagers staying at Brightcliffe Hospice show off their layered, memorable personalities. While Illonka (Iman Benson) is the main character who learns about this place and tells her foster dad that she wants to stay there, there are many great characters here, from the young adults grappling with matters of life and death to the adults who try their best to help them out.
The Midnight Club has a few particularly engrossing characters who fans want to spend as much time with as possible, and these people are so honest about what they're facing that they feel totally real.
Mike Flanagan Originally Tried To Adapt The Midnight Club In The '90s
It was clear from The Midnight Club trailer that Iman Benson's character Illonka is the focus of the series, as she finds Brightcliffe and begins staying there, meeting other teenagers who are in the same tragic situation that she is in. Not much else is known, and by the time that viewers get halfway through the first episode, they know that Illonka is a fantastic, well-crafted character.
Illonka is intelligent, sweet, and sees through the walls that other people put up. Illonka is particularly compassionate toward her roommate Anya (Ruth Codd), who is tough and prickly but deep down, she's just as caring as everyone else at the hospice center. Mike Flanagan's Netflix series all include layered characters and fans get a sense of who Illonka is right away. She's devastated to not get the chance to go to college and is doing her best to figure out the mysteries of her new home while living as much as she can.
The Midnight Club has Flanagan regulars, including Igby Rigney, who played Warren Flynn.
