While 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House adapted Shirley Jackson’s novel of the same name, The Haunting of Bly Manor takes its inspiration from Henry James’s 1898 seminal gothic romance, The Turn of the Screw.
Victoria Pedretti, who played Nell in Hill House, takes the lead as the tutor who arrives at a stately manor to look after the Wingrave children.
Flanagan also said that Bly Manor will deal with smaller-scale horrors than its predecessor, which dealt primarily with intergenerational family trauma.
The new teaser clip was unveiled on the streaming giant’s Twitter account on Monday night (31 August).
