Is Crockett Island from Midnight Mass a real place?

Midnight Mass is one of the best Netflix shows of 2021 so far. The series is set on Crockett Island, a small, remote island somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

Because of the unique setting of the new Netflix original series from Mike Flanagan, fans are wondering if Crockett Island is a real place.

We shared everything you need to know about Crockett Island, where Midnight Mass was filmed, and more.

Is Crockett Island a real place?

No, unfortunately, Crockett Island is not a real place. Where the show was filmed is obviously a real place, but Crockett Island, set way off the coast, does not actually exist.

I was kind of bummed when I found out Crockett Island is not actually a real place. There a similar places in the world, surely, but it was the perfect setting for a crazy story like this. I don’t remember a modern story without cars.

The remote setting of the story made it feel so much more real and as if something like this could actually happen.

Where was Midnight Mass filmed?

Midnight Mass was filmed at Garry Pointe Park in Richmond, British Columbia, which is near Vancouver, according to a report from The Cinemaholic.

You’ll also be fascinated to learn that Flanagan’s team actually constructed the whole town of Crockett Island and all the buildings on the main street for the series. Those didn’t exist at Garry Pointe Park until 2019. This must have been a massive undertaking to begin with, and it only became more complicated as production continued.

Midnight Mass was one of the shows that was in the middle of filming when everything shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been well-reported that Flanagan and the cast and crew left this whole town they built for months and months because they had to leave the country during the pandemic and return home to the United States.

Flanagan shared the story on Twitter when Midnight Mass wrapped production late last year. You have to check out this Twitter thread from Flanagan explaining what had happened.

So, there you have it. No, Crockett Island is not actually a real place, but you can visit Garry Pointe Park where the new Netflix original series was filmed. No spoilers, but I’d stay away from that church if I were you, though.
