What is Midnight Mass on Netflix about? 

Midnight Mass follows the story of a small, isolated island of Crockett Island – whose community is harbouring some dark secrets and dividing attitudes. 

This is only made worse by two major changes to their lives – the arrival of a new, young priest for their local parish, Father Paul, and the return of a disgraced young man.

The arrivals are made worse by the fact a series of unexplainable events start occurring at around the same time. 

As a result, this sparks a new wave of satanic panic and religious obsession among the townsfolk. 

Is there a catch to these miracles?

Simliar his other shows, Midnight Mass is not connected to his previous series. However, you will see one or two familiar faces from his previous anthology series…
