“The Haunting of Hill House” is returning to Netflix”
The second season of the “Haunting of Hill House” is coming soon. It’s moving from Shirley Jackson to Henry James – settling in the typical gothic novel “The Turn of the Screw”. The title of this season will be The Haunting of Bly Manor – Bly Manor being the location of James’ novel. This is the first step towards turning the series into an anthology show, with consequent seasons telling a new scary story. It is developed by Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy.
Netflix wants to stay in the Mike Flanagan business. So, they’ve decided to create forward with The Haunting of Hill House season 2. Rather than a traditional second season, though, the show is now being turned into an anthology series called The Haunting. The new season will feature a new tale of terror, and new characters. The Haunting mystery below invites to try to guess just where this is taking place.
The streaming giant has ordered a new episode in what they are calling “The Haunting” anthology, meaning the next chapter of the horror series will feature an entirely new story and new characters from those seen in the first season. Additionally, Netflix has entered into a multi-year overall television deal with series creator Mike Flanagan and executive producer Trevor Macy. Under the deal, Flanagan and Macy will produce new TV projects exclusively for Netflix.
The first season of the limited series was based on Shirley Jackson’s iconic novel of the same name. The cast included Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas, Elizabeth Reaser, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, Victoria Pedretti, Lulu Wilson, Mckenna Grace, Paxton Singleton, Julian Hilliard, Violet McGraw, and Timothy Hutton. In addition to Flanagan and Macy, the show was executive produced by Meredith Averill and Amblin Television’s Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey.
“Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy are masterful at creating authentically frightening stories that leave audiences on the edge of their seats, but unable to look away,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President, Original Content at Netflix. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with them on The Haunting series and future projects to come.”
