The Haunting of Bly Manor

In the wake of last year’s exceptional “The Haunting of Hill House,” Mike Flanagan and Netflix are teaming up once again for second season “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” inspired by Henry James’ psychological gothic horror novella The Turn of the Screw. In a new chat with Birth.Movies.Death. this week, Flanagan promises an “unbelievably scary” new season.

“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 one, so I’m very excited about it,” Flanagan told the site.

He also explained, “We’re looking at all the ghost stories of Henry James as the jumping-off point for the season, so it very much is a whole new deal. It’s a cool way to expand on some of the things I loved about season one, but within the framework of a new story, without having to be restrained by the decisions we made last time.”

“Hill House” stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Victoria Pedretti will play new characters in “Bly Manor.” And it sounds like more “Hill House” actors will also be returning. Stay tuned.

The Max Original series from Warner Bros. Television debuts with two episodes on Thursday, May 9, we’ve learned, followed by one new episode weekly through June 20 on Max.

Following the harrowing events of “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” our Pretty Little Liars face a fate worse than death – summer school. However, Millwood High isn’t the only thing getting in the way of their fun summer jobs and new, dreamy love interests.

A new villain, who may or may not have a connection to A, has come to town and is going to put them all to the test.

Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco return as the next generation of Pretty Little Liars.

The series also stars Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Alex Aiono, Jordan Gonzalez, and Elias Kacavas.

The series is created, written, and executive produced by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Riverdale,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) and Lindsay Calhoon Bring (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”).
