Flanagan confirmed in early January of this year that filming on Midnight Mass would begin sometime soon in 2020, shortly after he finished work on Bly ManorMidnight Mass is an Easter egg coming to life in Flanagan’s world having previously dropped it into past works Hush and Gerald’s Game as a fictional book.
