“The Haunting of Hill House” Returns to Netflix With New Chapter in 2020!

Arguably, last year’s very best new horror project was Netflix and Mike Flanagan‘s “The Haunting of Hill House,“ a brilliant, beautiful and downright terrifying (loose) adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s novel. The debut season followed the Crain family and their nightmarish ordeal with the titular house, and Flanagan has promised that *their* story is complete.

 

But that doesn’t mean the Netflix series is ending at just one season!

 

Announced by Netflix today, a “new chapter” of “The Haunting of Hill House” will arrive in 2020, and a short video today teases the new haunting. Listen closely to the video below.

 

Additionally, Netflix has entered into a multi-year overall television deal with Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy. Following the success of “Hill House,” Flanagan and Macy will develop and produce new series exclusively for Netflix, including an all-new chapter in “The Haunting” anthology, with the next installment chronicling a new story with all new characters.

 

Season 2 will be titled “The Haunting of Bly Manor,“ an adaptation of Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw. Via Wiki, “the novella focuses on a governess who, caring for two children at a remote estate, becomes convinced that the grounds are haunted.”

Interesting enough I was thinking of downloading the audiobook before I actually realised that there is a movie adaptation and the very new Netflix series adaptation. Downloaded the series instead - good reviews all around.
