    Netflix has teamed up with horror master Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor) for a new chilling series. Midnight Mass, which premiered September 24 and has been lauded by Stephen King among other horror buffs, follows the residents of Crockett Island, a small island populated by just 127 people, as a new priest comes to the Catholic church and a series of supposed miracles follow. This moody meditation of religious fervor and mortality has a stacked cast, filled with both Flanagan regulars and new faces. Here's everything we know about the residents of Crockett Island.

    Zach Gilford as Riley Flynn

    Riley is a recovering alcoholic and newfound atheist who has been released from prison following a car accident in which he killed a young woman. Wracked with guilt, he has returned to his hometown to stay with his family. Gilford has been a TV mainstay for over a decade, starring on Friday Night Lights (Saracen!), L.A.'s Finest, and Good Girls. Midnight Mass is his first time working with Flanagan, and he's already set to return in the directors' next show, The Midnight Club.

    Father Paul is a new priest who comes to Crockett Island's St. Patrick's Church to replace the elderly Monsignor Pruitt, who fell ill. Once he arrives, the people who take Communion begin healing from old aging and various injuries. Linklater has had a long career in TV, including roles on Fargo, Legion, The Newsroom, and The New Adventures of Old Christine. He also appeared in the Academy Award-nominated film The Big Short.
