Netflix Reveals the First Look at 'The Haunting of Bly Manor'

Netflix released its first look at The Haunting of Bly Manor today, and there are familiar faces abound. Bly Manor is the second installment in The Haunting series, which first took us to The Haunting of Hill House. Now Netflix is ready to take us on another ghostly journey. A journey that director Mike Flanagan says is much more scary.

The series is stars Hill House alum Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, Victoria Pedretti, Henry Thomas and Catherine Parker. The new faces of The Hauting series include T’Nia Miller, Rahul Kohli, Amelia Eve, Benjamin Ainsworth and Amelie Smith.

For anyone on the look out for more hidden ghost this season, you may not have to look so hard to find them in Bly Manor. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair Flanagan says that in The Haunting of Bly Manor, ghosts are out in the open. “This season we wanted our hidden elements to tell their own story. And very much unlike the first season, they’re actually going to be explained. By the end of the season, you’re going to know who they are and why they’re there,” he said.

He also says that differences will also be within the houses themselves. “Hill House is described by Shirley Jackson as having this gothic, frightening, shadowy presence. Henry James’s Bly Manor, conversely, is described as being bright and sunny and welcoming and rather beautiful. And when the governess approaches it for the first time in the book, she isn’t afraid,” Flanagan said.
