Netflix has cancelled The Midnight Club after one season.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the news comes after confirmation that creator Mike Flanagan and executive producer Trevor Macy have signed a deal to create content with Amazon Studios.

The Midnight Club, which is an adaption of Christopher Pike's young adult novel of the same name, followed a group of terminally ill teenagers at Brightcliffe hospice who meet up nightly to share ghost stories and investigate the paranormal occurrences around them.

Alongside the nightly meet-ups, the group also make a pact that the first one to die will come back and let the others know what's to come in the afterlife.

The series starred Iman Benson, Adia, Igby Rigney, Aya Furukawa, Annarah Shephard, Ruth Codd, Sauriyan Sapkota and William Chris Sumpter.

Following the cliffhanger season finale, fans will no doubt be disappointed at the news, especially considering that Flanagan said previously that the series would be continuing. "This was designed to be ongoing," the producer said back in October.

"I don't know if it will. We'll see how it goes, and we probably won't know for another month or so what Netflix wants to do. But this was very much designed to continue.

"Pike has 80 books, so we have a lot of incredible material to pull from", he added.

Macy had also hinted at a second season. "There's a couple ideas for season two," he said. "But I won't jinx it."

Alongside The Midnight Club, Flanagan and Macy are also behind several other Netflix series including Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor for the streaming site.

The Midnight Club is available to stream now on Netflix.
