Haunting Of Hill House Season 2 Cast Announced

Netflix's critically acclaimed horror anthology series that kicked of with The Haunting Of Hill House last year is returning for a second season with an all-new spooky house and a healthy mix of new and returning cast. Season 2, titled The Haunting Of Bly Manor, will return at some point next year.

Details about the plot are still relatively sparse, but director Mike Flannagan has been slowly rolling out casting announcements on social media. Today, he announced that Catherine Parker, who played Poppy Hill in Season 1, will be returning. She'll be joined by T'nia Miller (Years and Years, Free Rain), Rahul Kohli (Supergirl, iZombie), and Amelia Eve (Mens Sana, Big Boys Don't Cry). Miles and Flora, the two children at the heart of Bly Manor's mystery will be played by Benjamin Ainsworth, and Amelie Smith (EastEnders).

These cast members will join Hill House veterans Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Henry Thomas and Kate Seigel, all of whom will be playing new roles for the new season in the style of other horror anthology series like American Horror Story.

Like Hill House before it, The Haunting Of Bly Manor will be based on a horror classic. The 1898 Henry James novella, The Turn of The Screw, will provide the inspiration for this season--though, if Hill House is any indication, we can expect Flanagan and company to come up with all sorts of interesting twists and turns that will keep Bly Manor from becoming a predictable adaptation.
