The Haunting Of Bly Manor reunites the creator and stars of Netflix's breakout horror hit The Haunting Of Hill House (2018 to present) - and they are adapting yet another acclaimed work of horror fiction: the classic 19th-century novella The Turn Of The Screw by Henry James.
And, as with the first instalment of the anthology series created by Mike Flanagan (Dr Sleep, 2019), this chapter will be less about ghosts than the grief and trauma they represent, say actors Henry Thomas and Victoria Pedretti.
