Mysterious Benedict Society Clip: Tony Hale Worries About Dangerous Mission [EXCLUSIVE]
The adults of The Mysterious Benedict Society find themselves worrying about the kids' mission in this exclusive clip from episode 6 of the show, "Run Silent, Run Deep." The series is based on the 2007 book by the same name written by Trenton Lee Stewart. New episodes premiere Fridays on Disney+.
The Mysterious Benedict Society follows four gifted orphans, intuitive Reynie (Mystic Inscho), resourceful Kate (Emmy DeOliveira), inquisitive Sticky (Seth Carr), and unconventional Constance (Marta Timofeeva), who are recruited by the brilliant Mr. Benedict (Tony Hale) for a mission at a secret boarding school called the L.I.V.E. Institute. Their task is to uncover the truth behind the mysterious crisis known as The Emergency. When it appears the headmaster of their new school, Dr. Curtain (also played by Tony Hale) is behind this global crisis, it's up to the kids to find a way to stop it.
Check out the exclusive clip below showing Mr. Benedict, Number Two (Kristen Schaal), and Rhonda (MaameYaa Boafo) discussing the mission. Benedict is clearly worried and wants to abort the plan and pull the kids out of the L.I.V.E. Institute believing it has already failed. The other two have more faith in the "exceptional," "capable," and "courageous" children they have chosen and try to convince him not to abandon it.
With only eight episodes, The Mysterious Benedict Society is quickly racing towards the season finale. This scene ups the tension, showing how high the stakes are for everyone involved in the mission. Mr. Benedict seems conflicted about his plan and choosing these young people to take on such a dangerous assignment.
There is no word yet on if The Mysterious Benedict Society will be renewed for a second season. So far the series has five books, including a prequel about Nicholas Benedict, the boy who founded the mysterious organization. If the show's creators, Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, wanted to continue, they have plenty of options to choose from.
Official synopsis: After winning a scholarship competition, four gifted orphans are recruited by the peculiar Mr. Benedict for a dangerous mission to save the world from a global crisis known as The Emergency.
