A first look at some key art for Netflix and Mike Flanagan's The Haunting of Bly Manor has been unveiled, and it teases a fall return for the terrifying horror anthology series.

The acclaimed first season, The Haunting of Hill House, loosely adapted Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel of the same name, while this 9-episode second season is said to be based on the works of Henry James, which includes horror classic The Turn of the Screw. Quite a few Hill House cast members are set to return, but they'll be playing completely new characters.

Victoria Pedretti is set to portray a governess named Dani “who takes care of two very unusual children,” while Oliver Jackson-Cohen's Peter is described as “a charming fellow” who lives at Bly Manor and “makes life very difficult for everyone there.” Amelia Eve, T’Nia Miller, Rahul Kohli, Tahirah Sharif, Amelie Bea Smith, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, Katie Parker, Alex Essoe and Matthew Holness will also star.

Check out the poster below along with a batch of promo stills (via Vanity Fair), and let us know what you think.

[frick] yes...can’t wait for this show.

The first season was a hell of a watch. Need more horror tv like this and less like AHS.

@regularmovieguy - yeah, huge fan of mike flanigan. I prefer shows that feel like 13 hour films rather than weekly episodes like AHS.

So sad Dr. Sleep didn't do well, I was hoping to see more of his films in theaters rather than Netflix. Hopefully hollywood hasn't shut him out.

@regularmovieguy - Hopefully this one has scares. The first season wasn't scary at all.

@tmp3 thought you might like this. Roger Deakins has Hoyte Van Hoytema on his podcast talking his new partnership with Nolan. Haven’t listened yet but will probably turn it on this afternoon.

I never watched Hill House, I did watch Geralds Game and enjoyed it, and I loved Doctor Sleep (Directors Cut is a lot better than theatrical IMO), so I'm glad Flanagan is getting work

I feel bad Doctor Sleep pretty much flopped. I also feel bad for not supporting it in theaters (I was in a stressful time at school and financially, decided to watch Parasite and loved it).

Still need to see the DS:DC. The theatrical cut was probably one of my favorite genre movies last year and I heard nothing but great things about the Director’s Cut.

Really great movie imo.

@DannRamm113 - I read the book again after seeing the movie and it sticks pretty faithfully to the novel (until it doesn't). Mike Flanagan knocked it out of the park.

@regularmovieguy - I streamed Doctor Sleep and thought that it was fine. Then i bought the best buy steel book of The Shinning (one of my all time favorites) and saw Directors Cut on sale online, bought it, loved it. I ended up buying the 4K blu ray a few weeks ago because I just bought a new 4K tv/4k blu ray player (that I pretty much only got to watch Midsommar Directors Cut lol)

@GothamSon - Never read the book. I also didn't read The Shining, but I hear Kubrick pretty much transformed that material into his own thing

@DannRamm113 - Well either way, the Rose the Hat scene with the baseball kid was one of the freakiest horrifying scenes of 2019. Very well acted and shot

@DannRamm113 - DS is the best horror film of the last 5 years in my opinion.

Flanagan is a master.

S01 was awesome. And Carla Gugino can come haunt my apartment any time she likes

Oliver Jackson-Cohen was amazing in S01. And here is a shot of him from 'Invisible Man', he really looks the part

I was late to the party, but HILL HOUSE engrossed the heck out of me. Better than some of the best horror movies I’ve seen.

Looking forward to the next story.

I was given goosebumps at some point by EVERY single episode. One of the key factors is that it was mostly atmospheric. Eerie and unnerving. With only a handful of jump scares. I only hope the next season is equally good. My fear is that having some of the same actors return is going to take you out of it.
