By now, fans of ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ must be all psyched about the news of the spin-off story—‘The Haunting Of Bly Manor’. Season 2 of the classic cult horror show is coming soon to Netflix, and it is going to have double the gore too. The Mike Flanagan show is all set to return with a storyline, an adaptation based on the 1898 novella, ‘The Turn of the Screw’ by Henry James.
Previously, we saw a chilling season finale of the first part with the Craine family and their encounters with ghastly spirits. Although fans did not know whether or not the show will get renewed and even if it did, they had no clue when it would release.
The anthology series picked up with Season 1, and it immediately clicked with the horror fans. And since then, there was no looking back for this show. The popularity exploded, and it became one of the most-watched shows on the streaming giant Netflix.
