Watch the Chilling First Trailer for Netflix's Haunting of Bly Manor

Netflix has released the chilling first trailer for The Haunting of Bly Manor - the second season of Mike Flanagan's horror anthology series which began with The Haunting of Hill House. Season 2 of The Haunting series will be released on October 9 and is loosely based on the 1898 horror novel The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. Expect creepy children singing creepy songs and playing with creepy dolls, a beautiful but creepy country estate, and some very creepy things moving around in the dark.

But all is not as it seems at the manor, and centuries of dark secrets of love and loss are waiting to be unearthed in this chilling gothic romance. At Bly Manor, dead doesn’t mean gone." Several cast members from The Haunting of Hill House are returning for Season 2 to play different characters in Bly Manor - which is a completely new, standalone story separate from the Hill House tale - including Pedretti (who played Nell Crain in Hill House), Thomas (who played the young Hugh Crain), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (who played Luke Crain), and Kate Siegel (who played Theo Crain). New additions to the cast include Tahirah Sharif, Kohli, Eve, Miller, Smith, and Ainsworth.

For Henry James fans, it’s going to be pretty wild, and for people who aren’t familiar with his work, it’s going to be unbelievably scary. I already think it’s much scarier than Season 1, so I’m very excited about it.” The Haunting of Bly Manor will be released worldwide on Netflix on October 9, 2020. IGN named The Haunting of Hill House our show of the year when it was released in 2018.
