3. Shows coming to Netflix 2021: Midnight Mass
We recently reported that Mike Flanagan would be taking a break from his hit horror anthology series The Haunting — perhaps forever. Instead, he will focus on his other Netflix endeavors like the original supernatural horror series Midnight Mass and his adaptation of Christopher Pike’s novel The Midnight Club. Midnight Mass officially wrapped filming earlier this month and is slated to debut at some point in 2021, likely in the fall.
The series is set on an isolated island community where strange things begin happening after a mysterious priest arrives. The official Netflix description says, “a community experiences miraculous events and frightening omens after a mysterious priest’s arrival.” The cast features Friday Night Lights alum Zach Gilford, Flanagan’s wife and frequent collaborator Kate Siegel and Legion‘s Hamish Linklater.
