The Haunting of Bly Manor is now streaming on Netflix

The Haunting of Bly Manor comes to Netflix today, just in time for Halloween.

It’s the sequel to The Haunting of Hill House, the hit Netflix series that terrified everyone two years ago.

It’s part of The Haunting anthology and will have no connection to The Haunting of Hill House, with completely new storylines, characters and of course, a brand new terrifying house. 

And if you’re looking for something to binge, it’s being released with 10 episodes – making it the perfect thing to do this weekend (if you’re hard enough).

The Haunting of Bly Manor is based on Henry James’ ‘The Turn of the Screw’, a novella horror from 1898 that centres around two children, Flora and Miles, in a country house in Essex.

However, Netflix’s version will be set in the 1980s. Here’s what you can expect of the plot: “After an au pair’s tragic death, Henry Wingrave hires a young American nanny to care for his orphaned niece and nephew who reside at Bly Manor with the estate’s chef Owen, groundskeeper Jamie and housekeeper, Mrs. Grose.

“But all is not as it seems at the manor, and centuries of dark secrets of love and loss are waiting to be unearthed in this chilling gothic romance. At Bly Manor, dead doesn’t mean gone.”

The series features newcomers Amelie Bea Smith and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who play the orphaned niece and nephew duo, Flora and Miles. 

The show also features Rahul Kohli as chef Owen, Amelia Eve as the groundskeeper Jamie and T’Nia Miller who you might know from Sex Education as the housekeeper Mrs. Grose.

Bly Manor will also see the return of some of the original cast from Hill House, including Henry Thomas as Henry Wingrave and You’s Victoria Pedretti as Dani Clayton, the American nanny.

The Haunting of Bly Manor has dropped on Netflix today, just in time for a Friday night binge.
