Mike Flanagan scored a scary, buzz-grabbing hit with The Haunting Of Hill House back in 2018. He's back with a follow-up, going the anthology route by gathering much of that series cast for The Haunting Of Bly Manor. A spooky new teaser has hit for the show.
This time around, Flanagan has stepped back slightly, running the show, but letting others come in to director episodes. This adaptation of Henry James' The Turn Of The Screw updates the original 1890s story to the 1980s. After an au pair’s tragic death, Henry Wingrave (Henry Thomas) hires a young American nanny (Victoria Pedretti) to care for his orphaned niece and nephew (Amelie Bea Smith, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) who reside at Bly Manor with the estate’s chef Owen (Rahul Kohli), groundskeeper Jamie (Amelia Eve) and housekeeper, Mrs. Grose (T’Nia Miller). But all is not as it seems at the manor, and centuries of dark secrets of love and loss are waiting to be unearthed. At Bly Manor, dead doesn’t mean gone...
Netflix will be looking to chill us all again from 9 October when the show debuts on the streaming service. We would recommend watching it in a dark room, but don't blame us if you're scared.
