75 Midnight Mass: Season 1

Horror series debuts September 24 on Netflix

Zach Gilford and Hamish Linklater head the cast for a seven-episode Netflix thriller from Mike Flanagan, who previously brought The Haunting of Hill House to the streamer. His latest (which he wrote and directed) is set in a small island community where the arrival of a mysterious young priest coincides with a series of miraculous events—but, since this is a horror series, those miracles will come at a price. Kate Siegel, Annabeth Gish, Henry Thomas, and Michael Trucco also star.

Flanagan is currently filming yet another Netflix horror series, the Christopher Pike adaptation The Midnight Club, which should debut next year.
