Synopsis[edit]

On the run from his past, young psychic Manfred Bernardo is told by the ghost of his grandmother to seek out refuge in Midnight, Texas. There, he will find a community that can help him. Full of diverse characters—including a vampire, a witch, a fallen angel, a half-demon and a werecreature—Midnight faces numerous threats from the outside world as it welcomes the newcomer.

Cast and characters[edit]

Main[edit]

  • François Arnaud as Manfred Bernardo, a psychic who moves to Midnight trying to outrun trouble that is following him.[7]
  • Arielle Kebbel as Olivia Charity, a freelance assassin with as many secrets as guns she owns, and wife of Lemuel.[8]
  • Peter Mensah as Lemuel "Lem" Bridger, a vampire with a dark past who first came to Midnight in the 1950s and never left, and Olivia's husband.
  • Dylan Bruce as Bobo Winthrop, the human proprietor of Midnight Pawn, landlord to Lemuel, Olivia, and Manfred. Also, the best friend of Fiji,[9] later her boyfriend.
  • Parisa Fitz-Henley as Fiji Cavanaugh, a quirky free-spirited witch who owns Midnight's magic shop and struggles to come to terms with how powerful she really is.

  • Sarah Ramos as Creek Lovell (season 1; special guest, season 2), the mortal "girl next door beauty" waitress and gas-station attendant who becomes the love interest of Manfred, much to her father's distaste.[10] Eventually, she reaches her limit with Midnight, and leaves town in "Head Games".

Pursued by a mysterious man named Hightower, young psychic Manfred Bernardo flees his life in Dallas and moves to the mysterious town of Midnight, Texas. While there, he meets the locals and forms a bond with a waitress named Creek. However, soon after his arrival the many members of the town begin to show impossible secrets, and a young woman named Aubrey Harrison is found dead. Manfred attempts to connect with Aubrey's spirit to solve her murder, but accidentally floods his house full of ghosts and evil spirits. Manfred uses her tip-off on his Ouija board to locate the murder weapon, which the police link to his landlord and Aubrey's fiancee Bobo. At the end of the episode, Bobo is arrested, much to the disbelief of the local community, especially local "wiccan" Fiji, who attacks the police car with magic. Manfred returns to his house to find it glowing orange and filled with ghosts and evil spirits.
22"Bad Moon Rising"David SolomonMonica Owusu-BreenJuly 31, 2017 (2017-07-31)3.29[13]
Manny enlists the help of the other 'Midnighters' to try to get rid of the ghosts and demonic entity haunting his house, and Fiji performs an exorcism to try to encourage the spirits to move. As it is a full moon, the Reverend is locked in the church cellar. Meanwhile, Manny tries to help clear Bobo's name by allowing Aubrey to inhabit his body so that he can see what happened to her, before relaying this to the sheriff at Davey, who still seems skeptical but agrees to look into the matter. The sheriff's deputy locks Bobo up with a group of Sons of Lucifer members, all of whom he beats up, so the sheriff suspends her from duty. The deputy decides to go into town and opens the church cellar, releasing the Reverend who is a Were Tiger. Lemuel renders the Were Tiger unconscious thus saving the Reverend's life (as Olivia was going to shoot him with silver bullets). The demonic entity in Manny's home turns out to be a lot more powerful than it first seems, causing serious problems for Fiji. Bobo is freed after a Sons of Lucifer jacket with Aubrey's hair in its zipper is found downstream of her body. The Sons of Lucifer, led by Aubrey's husband Peter Lowry, then murder the sheriff by blowing up his car.

An old friend (his sire) of Lemuel's arrives in town with a nest of vampires, claiming to want to stay the night for a catch up, although it's soon revealed that there's more to this visit than a reunion.

Manfred and company end up killing it with fire. Olivia interrogates a man she discovered following her after completing a job; he turns out to be working for her father. She reveals that her father was absent during her life and left her with his drug-addicted wife, who pimped Olivia out to several men for drug money. She sends the man back to her father with a message to leave her alone. Meanwhile, Bobo tries to keep his past a secret, and he and Fiji finally kiss.

Creek ask Olivia to help Manfred. Olivia comes to Manfred's aid when he goes to meet Hightower, and find a corpse: Hightower's daughter Violet, whom he jilted at the altar. Manfred reveals to Creek and Olivia that he and Xylda conned Hightower by bethrothing Manfred to Violet in exchange for $100,000; they ran away with his money on the day of the wedding, and she committed suicide a few weeks later. Manfred calls on Violet's spirit to make peace with Hightower in order to spare his life. Violet angrily tells her father that she killed herself because of how he treated her throughout her life; the distraught Hightower commits suicide afterward. Lemuel asks Bobo what The Sons of Lucifer want; he shows him the weapons cache he has hidden, and reveals that his parents were rich white supremacists, who he ran away from. With Lemuel's help, Bobo rescues Fiji and they get rid of the Sons. After discovering the truth about Bobo's past, Fiji puts their relationship on hold and tells him that she needs time to think.

Creek and Manfred fight over his affair with Patience before confessing they miss each other. Although the curse appears to be broken, Fiji is clearly undergoing an enormous personality change, becoming more self-centered. Manfred tries to get Creek out of town, but the two become stuck in a loop as all phones stop working and the town loses power. The pizza boy, Basil is revealed to be the trickster who's been messing with people, and confides in Fiji, as he knows she no longer cares about the Midnighters.

177"Resting Witch Face"Neema BarnetteKelli BreslinDecember 14, 2018 (2018-12-14)2.42[29]
Manfred believes Kai killed Creek, and vows revenge. The Midnighters hold a funeral for Creek while Joe is still looking for Chuy. Creek's body still cannot be found. To find out what Kai is up to, the group plans to translate the writing on the head. Joe finds that Chuy has been on a rampage murdering innocent people. Patience gives Manfred a stone to protect himself from Kai. Kai confronts Patience about the affair and tells her she needs to pick a side. The group is able to decipher that the head is trapped by a curse, which requires the power of seventy times seven beasts to break it, and Kai is harvesting the supernatural power to free it. Walker and Joe clash when Joe finds that Walker is determined to kill Chuy. Fiji puts Bobo to sleep and throws a monster party in his bar. When Bobo confronts her, Fiji claims she's everything she ever wanted to be now, and tells Bobo she doesn't love him anymore. Manfred learns that the head is that of Theophilus, the father of dark magic. Theophilus has a twin, whom the group believes to be Kai, and the two were the first dark witches and ancestors of Fiji, and if they are reunited, darkness will fall. The group finds that Fiji has been collecting parts of their bodies such as blood and hair, and that she has Creek's phone and keys—-she was the one who covered up Creek's death, and burned her body so she could not say who killed her. The purpose of Fiji's monster party is made clear, as she seduces two vampires and brings them to Kai to take their powers. The group subdues and ties down Fiji, who states that Theophilus led her to Kai's hotel, and Kai has all of the seventy times seven beasts and they can lift the curse with their sacrifice, implied to be Patience. Walker and Joe track down Chuy; Walker can't bring himself to kill Chuy because he loves Joe, and as Chuy is about to kill Walker, Joe is forced to kill him. Joe blames Walker for Chuy's death and tells him he never wants to see him again as he cuts off his wings onto Chuy's grave. Manfred and Lem storm the hotel to save Patience; Lem leeches her and brings her to where Fiji is being held, while Manfred confronts Kai. Kai reveals that Theophilus is not his twin, but Patience's. Kai was led to believe by Patience that the two were good witches cursed by a dark witch named Delilah over 800 years before. Manfred informs him that he has been misled, and that the twins will be the most powerful dark witches to walk the earth if they are reunited. As Patience frees Fiji, Kai tells Manfred the charm Patience gave him will really allow Theophilus to take over his body.
188"Patience Is a Virtue"Barbara BrownAlfredo Septién & Turi MeyerDecember 21, 2018 (2018-12-21)2.57[30]
Manfred cannot break free from the necklace, and finds out he also cannot kill Patience. Manfred confronts Patience who tells him that she knew he was the perfect vessel to hold Theophilus. She also reveals that the reason Fiji's intention spell didn't work was because she created it. The group plan to get Fiji back on their side. Fiji and Patience determines they need to take down the Midnighters one by one, and resurrect Chuy to kill Joe. Joe tells Lem he cut off his wings to pay for his sins, to which Lem replies they are all sinners but he will get through it. Manfred transports inside the painting to get help from Delilah, the original white witch who took out Theophilus. While hiding from the monstrous knight inside the painting, Delilah tells Manfred of her history with the twins. 800 years before, she used to be friends with Patience (then known as Hypatia), and she was to wed Theophilus, by whom she became pregnant. However, Hypatia was in love with her brother and wanted more from him; upon the two acting on their twisted desire for each other, dark magic was born. The evil twins became too powerful, and Hypatia also became pregnant. The scorned Delilah beheaded Theophilus and bound the twins from doing magic, and cursed their descendants from ever finding true love; Hypatia retaliated by having her son Everard curse Delilah into the painting and be hunted by the beast for eternity. Bobo and Olivia get help from a Delilah named Addie to save Fiji. They retrieve her butterfly (which is actually her soul) from inside Bobo, but after doing so, Fiji finds them and kills her butterfly. Fiji uses Chuy's ghost to distract and disarm Joe, while Patience puts Lem to sleep. Manfred and Kai summon Everard to extract his supernatural powers in order to free Delilah. Bobo, Olivia, Lem, and Joe are led through the streets by a group of dark witches and forced to bear witness to the impending resurrection of Theophilus. When Manfred tries to end it and free Delilah, he is overpowered and captured. Patience calls upon Theophilus, and as the Midnighters console Manfred, she beheads and kills him.

Fiji attaches Theophilus' head onto the body of the slain Manfred on behalf of Patience using a binding spell, and the two incestuous evil siblings rejoice alongside Fiji while Joe, Lem, Olivia, and Bobo helplessly look on. Later, Patience relishes her victory and contemplates taking over the world. She attempts to tempt Joe, then corrupts him using Chuy's remains as a drug. The Midnighters are placed in a pen along with Addie. Olivia manages to get a key from one of their captors, and they escape. Olivia is recaptured by Joe, who is now a dark angel, and tortured by Patience. Manfred is revealed to have stayed with Walker. Kai had switched places with Manfred using a spell that made him appear to be Manfred and had sacrificed his life to ruin the return of Theophilus. Fiji steals and destroys more souls from the good witches to build a witch army for Patience. Theophilus' health quickly deteriorates, and Patience attempts to use Lem's blood to heal him, offering Lem a chance to see Olivia, who is scheduled to be burned at the stake for her defiance. They discuss their plight and their options. The other Midnighters are visited by the trickster demigod Basil, who offers to assist Bobo by bargaining to steal the soul of a stranger to restore Fiji's humanity and possibly turn the tide against the twins. Manfred appears at Olivia's execution disguised as an acolyte of Patience, preventing Patience's minions from joining the fight, and rallying the Midnighters. When Fiji lights Olivia's pyre, she reveals that Lem turned her into a vampire. Manfred and Addie plan to release Delilah from her painting imprisonment, when Bobo contacts Basil and agrees to the terms of restoring Fiji. She returns to herself and the two good witches free Delilah, who wages war against Patience. A desperate and deteriorating Theophilus fights Manfred, who decapitates him once more, causing Patience to fall into the spa pool in grief and despair. She absorbs the powers that she and Kai had collected, becoming even more powerful. A final battle against Patience occurs; Joe combats Walker and kills Addie before coming back to himself. Patience is defeated as the spirit of Kai enables Manfred to take away the powers she had absorbed, and Delilah imprisons Patience and her brother inside the forest hell forever. The Midnighters regroup and celebrate their victory, considering their next moves as Walker joins them. Joe decides to leave and atone for his sins. Fiji tells Bobo she is pregnant, and Bobo realizes that the soul restored to her may have come from their unborn child. Delilah leaves to restore the lost souls of the dark witches. Lem helps Olivia adjust to life as a vampire. Manfred is visited by Xylda who warns him that there is a new crisis coming as the knight from the painting walks into Midnight, much like Manfred did in the premiere.

In October 2015, it was reported that NBC was developing based on Charlaine Harris' best-selling series Midnight, Texas for the fall of 2016.

The series was commissioned on May 13, 2016 which will be composed of 13 episodes.[1]

On February 14, 2018, it was announced that NBC renewed the series for a second season. Along with the announcement it was reported that the showrunner Monica Owusu-Breen will be replaced by Nicole Snyder and Eric Charmelo, who were consulting producers on Season 1.[4]
