The Haunting of Bly Manor: Release Date, Plot and Updates!

The Haunting of Bly Manor is the follow-up season of one of the spookiest Netflix horror anthology series The Haunting of  Hill House(2018). The first season set in The Hill House was much loved by the viewers and for quite a while now there has been a buzz about Season 2 of the series. However, this follow-up season is going to be in a completely new setting, and even scarier. Directed and created by Mike Flanagan, The Haunting of Bly Manor is going to be based on the 1898 horror novel The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.

This season is leaving the Crain family from season 1 behind and entering into a new world, with a new story that blends supernatural and gothic elements in a fine range. Netflix has confirmed the release of the second season in 2020.

The trailer is not released by Netflix, but we are expecting it to be out soon along with the release date.

Going great. Still on schedule, we wrapped before the shutdown and post production has carrying on from home. The show is shaping up wonderfully, I'm thrilled with it. At the moment no reason to think it'll be pushed. @netflix will announce the release date when they're ready.

The plot of the Series:

There is no dramatic link between the two stories. As per Netflix’s description ‘” From the creator of “The Haunting of Hill House” comes a gothic romance ghost story based on the stories of Henry James.”

Everything is going to be different: The plot, the setting, and the characters. As per sources, the story orbits around a young governess hired by a man to take care of his niece and nephew. The setting is a country house giving the story a gothic touch. The governess soon starts to see apparitions that begin haunting the premises.

The Cast Members of the Series:

We will get to see some familiar faces from the first season. Victoria Pedretti as Dani, Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Peter, Rahul Kohli as Owen, Tahirah Sharif as Miss Jessel. We also have Henry Thomas, Catherine Parker, and Kate Seigel as a part of the amazing cast.

Nellie Crain may be gone, but Victoria Pedretti is returning to the Haunting universe in The Haunting of Bly Manor coming 2020! pic.twitter.com/uWoB5zdxKx
