Netflix is gearing up to deliver another new horror series, titled “Midnight Mass.” The series will see the streaming giant reteam with brilliant filmmaker Mike Flanagan, who was also behind their series “The Haunting of Hill House” and “The Haunting of Bly Manor.”
Two Tweets from the “Haunting of Bly Manor” official account have now revealed hints about the series as well as two brief teasers for the seven-episode series set on an isolated island where a community is experiencing miraculous events and frightening omens following the arrival of a charismatic and mysterious young priest.
Kate Siegel (“The Haunting of Hill House”) stars alongside Zach Gilford (The Purge: Anarchy) and Hamish Linklater (“Legion”). The cast also includes Annabeth Gish (“The Haunting of Hill House“), Michael Trucco (Hunter Killer), Samantha Sloyan (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Henry Thomas (“The Haunting of Hill House”), Kristin Lehman (The Chronicles of Riddick), Crystal Balint (The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco), Rahul Abburi (Killer Ransom), Matt Biedel (Altered Carbon), Alex Essoe (Doctor Sleep), Rahul Kohli (“Supergirl”), Robert Longstreet (Doctor Sleep), Annarah Shephard (The Midnight Club), and Igby Rigney (“Blue Bloods”).
Here’s an interesting tidbit, the series has ties to both Flanagan’s Gerald’s Game and his film Hush. “Midnight Mass” was the name of the book that the character Maddie Young wrote in Hush and appeared in Gerald’s Game (pictured above). “The Haunting of Hill House”, “The Haunting Of Bly Manor”, Hush, and Gerald’s Game are currently available on Netflix. If you haven’t seen them we urge you to check them out.
