The Haunting of Bly Manor is an American gothic romance supernatural Horror drama television miniseries created by Mike Flanagan, and released on Netflix on October 9, 2020. The second entry in Flanagan’s The Haunting anthology series, it mostly acts as an adaptation of the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, but also includes other elements either based on James’ other works or created for the show. It features much of Hill House’s crew and some of the same cast, such as Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Amelia Eve, T’Nia Miller, Rahul Kohli, Tahirah Sharif, Amelie Bea Smith, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, and Henry Thomas. Although Pedretti, Jackson-Cohen and Thomas returned from Hill House as different characters, as did Kate Siegel, Carla Gugino, and Catherine Parker in recurring roles, the two series’ narratives are not connected. Following a nonlinear narrative, The Haunting of Bly Manor follows the events occurring in the eponymous countryside manor in the United Kingdom, mostly upon the arrival of a young American hired as an au pair for the two children living at Bly, and who is unaware that the manor is haunted. It was released on October 9, 2020, and like its predecessor received positive reviews from critics, who particularly praised the performances of Pedretti and Miller. At the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards, the series was nominated for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Limited or Anthology Series.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in October 2018, on the topic of The Haunting of Hill House, Flanagan said, “I don’t want to speculate too much about season two until Netflix, Paramount and Amblin let us know if they want one. What I will say, though, is that as far as I’ve ever been concerned with this, the story of the Crain family is told. It’s done. On February 21, 2019, Netflix announced a follow-up series to Hill House. Titled The Haunting of Bly Manor, it is based on The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. Though it would serve as a follow-up series to The Haunting of Hill House, it is a standalone story, indicating that there would be “no dramatic link between The Haunting of Bly Manor and its predecessor. Although the prominent source for the adaptation is The Turn of the Screw, the season also adapts (some more loosely) multiple James works, including “The Romance of Certain Old Clothes” and “The Jolly Corne.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Story
In Northern California, 2007, a woman attends a rehearsal dinner for a wedding. There, she tells the story of an au pair, which dates back to 1987 in London. American native Dani Clayton is hired by Henry Wingrave to look after his niece and nephew in their manor in Bly. Dani arrives with Owen the cook and meets the children, Miles and Flora; the housekeeper, Hannah Grose; and the gardener, Jamie. Flora warns Dani not to leave her room at night, but Dani ignores this. She finds many talismans spread throughout the manor, one of which belongs to the previous au pair, Rebecca Jessel, who allegedly killed herself. Hannah describes the talismans as a protection for Flora. She sees a man on the parapet. When Dani stumbles on The Lady of the Lake’s talisman, she is locked in Flora’s cupboard by Miles. She sees a spectre she has seen repeatedly in a mirror in the closet. Dani is let out a few hours later and notices muddy footsteps. When she follows them outside, she sees Miles and Flora staring at her from their windows.
The Haunting of Bly Manor Review
Haunting of Bly Manor is like an ancient story telling combined with the visual and audio effects of the modern times. It’s eerie and sinister, which haunts it’s listeners, for days and stays forever. There have been many wonderful Horror tales, told by cinema and all of them unique and scary in their own ways. However after watching haunting of hill house, I thought, had seen all and now what more can we get But not all was over, because bly manor is just at another level. There may not be any jump scares and not many ghost scenes but there is a lingering feeling of fear. There are a lot of negative reviews, well perception always vary, but this is a Horror of the sophisticated kind. Infact the idea of death is so genius that I can’t stop marvelling. Cheers to the different take on a genre that is so entertaining and has scope for exploring
