New 'The Mysterious Benedict Society' Teaser and Character Posters Promise a Quirky Fantasy Adventure Series on Disney+
The Disney+ show has its two-episode premiere later this week.
Disney+’s latest addition to their growing list of originals includes the fun-filled and spirited fantasy series The Mysterious Benedict Society, which just released a new TV spot and posters ahead of its two-episode premiere later this week. Developed by Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay, the show is adapted from the YA books of the same name by Trenton Lee Stewart. They are joined by showrunner Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin, who notably worked on series like Smallville and Melrose Place.
The Mysterious Benedict Society follows the adventures of four adventures who each possess a unique skill, and are therefore summoned to a boarding school known as the Institute after winning a scholarship. They are recruited by the eccentric Mr. Benedict for a dangerous mission to save the world from a global crisis known as The Emergency. As they continue to uncover new information and secrets about this mission, they discover that the headmaster of the Insitute (and Mr. Benedict’s identical twin brother), Dr. Curtain, is behind the crisis, and the kids must team up if they want to defeat him.
