![]() You can also tell from Flanagan's film choices that he likes to just tell his stories in one fell swoop- Doctor Sleep, for instance, is an adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name. The Haunting of Hill House was its own story (based on Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel of the same name), The Haunting of Bly Manorwas its own story (based on The Turn of the Screw by Henry James), and now Midnight Mass is telling its own story (with Flanagan serving as chief writer). ![]() Midnight Mass marks Mike Flanagan's third Netflix series, but you may have noticed that each of them tells a contained story. Midnight Mass is not likely to have a Season 2. So while we may never see Hamish Linklater as Father Paul, or Kate Siegel as Erin again, or Rahul Kohli as Sheriff Hassan again, there's a pretty strong chance we see these performers show up again in a similarly-scary project by the guy who thought all of this up in the first place. The good news, though, is that writer/director/showrunner Mike Flanagan tends to re-use many of the same actors in different projects. But for a number of different reasons, we feel pretty confident that our trip to Crockett Island for Midnight Mass is going to be a one-and-done on Netflix. HBO's Mare of Easttown was also planned as a limited series, but lately star Kate Winslet has been teasing that her murder mystery could also be returning for a second go-around. Big Little Lies, for one example, was always planned as a limited series, and eventually returned for a second season. And you may find yourself wondering, as the final credits start to roll: what happens next? And most likely, you'll be thinking that for a long, long, time, because we don't expect Midnight Mass-dubbed a limited series-to have anything more than this initial run of seven episodes. Midnight Mass, with all of its intense Catholic imagery, chaotic sermons, and blood-sucking, poison-drinking, death-questioning and death-defying horror, goes out not quite with a bang, but with a giant blaze of fire at the end of its seventh episode. The following story contains spoilers for the ending of Netflix's Midnight Mass.
