Midnight Mass is an American gothic supernatural horror television miniseries created and directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Zach Gilford, Kate Siegel, Hamish Linklater, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, Kristin Lehman, and Henry Thomas. The plot centers on a devout and impoverished island community that experiences supernatural events after the arrival of a mysterious priest.
The series was announced in July 2019, with Netflix ordered Flanagan's original horror series Midnight Mass as part of that overall deal. Flanagan wrote, directed and served as showrunner on the seven-episode series, which suffered from a production delay in 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Midnight Mass was released on Netflix on September 24, 2021, and received positive reviews, with praise for Flanagan's directing, performances of the cast (particularly Gilford, Siegel and Linklater) and its new take on the vampire genre, but some criticism for its writing and pacing.
