Zach Gilford is looking back at Midnight Mass and everything he went through - and missed - while filming.

The Netflix series was released in September 2021, but filmed in the height of the pandemic. Gilford, 43, said he was "really proud" of the project, despite all the necessary sacrifices..

"There's a lot of existential stuff going on in that," he said on the Tuesday, June 3, episode of The Julia Cunningham Show . "It was during the pandemic we shot it. I had to miss the birth of my son to shoot it, so I was in the head space of, ‘I suck. I don't want to be here.'"

"This is like, ‘Maybe I'll meet my son someday,'" he joked. "I did, spoiler."

Though filming took him away from home, Gilford spoke glowingly about his time shooting Midnight Mass in a 2023 story with Us Week
