Luke and co. may have escaped the organization and destroyed the Dennison Facility for now, but their plot to bring down The Institute and the Director will cause even more chaos. The show returns on November 8, at 9pm ET/PT.

That's where Alfie Allen comes in, who joins the cast for the second season as tech billionaire Nolan Reeves. He's enlisted by the Director to finance and rebuild the facility on an even bigger scale, with artificial intelligence to boot. Meanwhile, Sigsby wants back in, but is there room for the former head of the institute now?

This second season of The Institute, consisting of eight episodes, will branch out beyond Stephen King's original novel, which means audiences are in for fresh storylines and a few surprises along the way.
