Netflix series

Main article: Mr. Midnight: Beware the Monsters

In February 2015, a promotional image for a new Mr Midnight television series was posted on the Mr Midnight Facebook page. It featured a Mr Midnight logo with a pair of eyes peeking out from behind the logo. The caption underneath the logo read, "The hit book series that has scared thousands of kids across Asia is coming to television!" Any other details about the upcoming series were unknown, except that the series would most likely be adaptations of the stories.

However, an update was finally released by the publisher on Instagram and Facebook in late September 2022 with the announcement that the TV series, produced by Beach House Pictures, would be released on Netflix to a worldwide audience. Titled Mr. Midnight: Beware the Monsters, the series premiered on 24 October 2022.

Movie

A movie titled Mr. Midnight the Movie: My Haunted Holiday was in the works but was cancelled as the producers thought the movie would not suit the book's style.
