Midnight Mass is packed with a supporting cast full of actors who have worked with Mike Flanagan in the past – including Kate Siegel (who is also his wife), Rahul Kohli, Alex Essoe, Annabeth Gish, Robert Longstreet, and Henry Thomas – and hopefully they will continue to be the filmmaker’s lucky charms.
The limited series will include a run of seven episodes that will all be available online starting September 24, which means that if you only watch one episode per week you’ll be left with the final two episodes to watch during Halloween.
