MidnightMass creator Mike Flanagan shares a heartwarming message for fans on the show's one-year anniversary. 'This one will probably always be my favorite. It's a piece of my heart, transformed into 7.5 hours of light and sound.'
Midnight Mass creator Mike Flanagan shares a heartfelt and sincere message to viewers on the anniversary of the Netflix miniseries' release. The supernatural horror title starred Zach Gilford, Kate Siegel, Hamish Linklater, Rahul Kohli, Samantha Sloyan and Henry Thomas as residents of an isolated island community that suddenly becomes the subject of strange events. Midnight Mass premiered to widespread critical acclaim in September 2021.
Flanagan's third series with Netflix following The Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor, Midnight Mass centers on the residents of the isolated and financially struggling offshore fishing village of Crockett Island. When the new young priest Father Paul Hill replaces the town's previous clergyman at the church, the citizens begin to experience strange phenomena and healing miracles, taking the community by storm and revitalizing the congregation's faith.
What's Next For Mike Flanagan? Following the success of Midnight Mass, Flanagan is continuing to collaborate with Netflix after signing an exclusive deal with the streaming service to produce a number of new series. The filmmaker's next project is the recently teased The Midnight Club, a horror mystery-thriller series that follows a group of seven terminally ill young adults at a hospice who share a love of scary stories and soon find themselves the subject of supernatural occurrences.
Flanagan has quickly become a celebrated figure for his work on bringing horror to television with critics and audiences alike, with Midnight Mass's Emmy snub attracting fan ire when the series didn't receive nominations for the 2022 awards show's selection.
