Deadline

In a series of tweets, Flanagan announced that his first season of his Netflix horror series wrapped, saying this "has been the best production experience of my career." Flanagan said Midnight Mass was able to pull through because "we embraced the new normal. We didn't pay attention to rumors that other productions were being looser with their protocols, we didn't panic if we heard about other shows having cases or shutting down. We just took care of each other and stuck to our protocols." Newcomers and day players, he added, "were expected to adhere, and the cast and crew made sure they did. If someone chose not to, they weren't here long. The overwhelming majority of people embraced the protocols and were grateful that they were there." Flanagan says his production on Midnight Mass was so successful "other productions began calling for advice. As days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months and we kept working, we began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It wasn't just that we might actually wrap the show... we might actually wrap ON SCHEDULE."
