From executive producer and director Jack Bender (Lost, Mr. Mercedes, From) and executive producer and writer Benjamin Cavell (Justified, The Stand) the series, which will debut with eight episodes, comes from MGM+ Studios. The Institute will star Ben Barnes (Shadow and Bone, The Punisher, Westworld) as "Tim Jamieson" and Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds, Angels in America) as "Ms. Sigsby." Production will take place in Nova Scotia later this year. When 12-year-old genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped, he awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did, and who are all possessed of unusual abilities.
