Mike Flanagan’s “Midnight Mass” Series Is Getting a New Installment

“Midnight Mass“ stands as one of Mike Flanagan’s undisputed masterpieces on Netflix. Out of nowhere, the horror miniseries is set to receive its ultimate spiritual successor in October 2026, Screen Rant reports. Very few creators in modern television and cinema have matched the success Flanagan has achieved. On Netflix alone, Flanagan has dominated, releasing 13 series and movies on the streaming giant. And as always, fans are begging for more. The Story The original series is set on the remote, windswept shores of Crockett Island. “Midnight Mass” follows a fragile coastal community as it experiences an unsettling, inexplicable transformation.
