The Haunting of Bly Manor Gets a New Poster

The premiere window of Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor has been revealed in a chilling new poster. Netflix confirmed a fall release for Bly Manor as the first official poster for the series was released on Twitter. The streaming giant invited fans to "look beneath the surface" of the sepia-toned image, which depicts a lone female figure wading through deep, dark waters towards an ominous-looking manor house pictured off into the distance.

The novella is narrated by an unnamed protagonist, who recounts the details of a manuscript written by a governess. This manuscript relays the governess' experiences caring for two children at Bly Manor and her slow realization that the grounds may be haunted. The Turn of the Screw has been adapted to film, stage, and TV numerous times, most famously in the form of 1961's The Innocents.

He referred to The Turn of the Screw as "a jumping-off point" for Season 2's narrative, which is said to be "much scarier" than The Haunting of Hill House, the first chapter of Netflix's The Haunting of... anthology series. The Haunting of Bly Manor will feature several actors from the first installment now cast in new roles. This time, Oliver Jackson-Cohen will be playing Peter, "a resident of Bly Manor, who makes life very difficult for everyone who lives there," while Victoria Pedretti, who previously portrayed Nell Crain, will return as an all-new character, known as the governess Dani.
