Netflix has announced the next installment of their horror anthology ‘The Haunting’ is coming for us in 2020. According to the Hollywood Reporter the next chapter will take inspiration from The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.
‘Hill House‘ creator Mike Flanagan and executive producer Trevor Macy are both returning for season two. After they both inked a new multi-year deal with Netflix. For season one, creators drew inspiration from the 1959 Shirley Jackson novel The Haunting of Hill House. However, Bly Manor will be inspired by the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. The story follows a young governess who is hired by a man to look after his nephew and niece after the deaths of their parents. However, things take a spooky turn when she discovers several ghost inhabiting her new residence.
The Haunting creators are not the only ones who are tackling James’ work. Universal Pictures is set to release its own adaptation starring Stranger Things alum, Finn Wolfhard. The Turning, is set to be a modern retelling of the story and will be set in Maine. Reimagined by director Floria Sigismondi, with Steven Spielberg as executive producer, The Turning is scheduled to be released in January of 2020.
We may have seen the end of the Crane family’s haunting, but more ghosts and ghouls are heading our way. There is currently no cast yet, but Flanagan is known for bringing back actors/actress from his previous projects. Therefore, we are sure to be in for a great horror-versed cast.
