The Mysterious Benedict Society: An exclusive clip finds Tony Hale hypnotizing Marta Kessler’s Constance Contraire

Do not adjust your monitors, and listen closely to Tony Hale‘s mellifluous voice as he guides you through a meditation that will leave you feeling light as a feather and do wonders for your self-esteem. I’m talking about an exclusive clip for episode 6 of The Mysterious Benedict Society Season 2, featuring Hale’s Dr. Curtain and Marta Kessler’s Constance Contraire.

In The Mysterious Benedict Society exclusive clip, Constance tunes in to a PSA hosted by Dr. Curtain, urging viewers to relax and give themselves over to the power of positive thinking. While Dr. L.D. Curtain (Hale) promises viewers a pathway to unbridled happiness; fans of the show know better than to take the untrustworthy villain at his word. As Constance’s eyes begin drooping, we can see her falling into a trance, which could spell trouble for the whip-smart troublemaker and her misfit friends.

Based on the best-selling YA book series by Trenton Lee StewartThe Mysterious Benedict Society is some of the most fun I’ve had watching television on Disney+. The show looks and feels like a Wes Anderson film and features plenty of quirky characters and a slick set design. It’s delightfully bizarre, packed with strange characters, and hides surprises around every corner.

In The Mysterious Benedict Society, four gifted orphans – Reynie (Mystic Inscho), Sticky (Seth Carr), Kate (Emmy DeOliveira), and Constance (Marta Kessler) – are recruited by the peculiar Mr. Benedict (Tony Hale) for a dangerous mission to save the world from a global crisis known as “The Emergency,” Together, they must infiltrate the mysterious L.I.V.E. Institute to discover the truth behind the crisis. When the headmaster, the sophisticated Dr. Curtain, appears to be behind this worldwide panic, the kids of the Mysterious Benedict Society must devise a plan to defeat him.

The Mysterious Benedict Society stars Tony Hale, Mystic Inscho, Seth Carr, Emmy DeOliveira, Marta Kessler, Kristen Schaal, MaameYaa Boafo, Ryan Hurst, and Gia Sandhu.

I highly recommend giving The Mysterious Benedict Society a shot. It’s a show that consistently tops itself regarding style, fun performances, and exciting twists to an unpredictable plot. The Mysterious Benedict Society is available to stream now on Disney+.
