Hill House’s Oliver Jackson-Cohen coming back for the Bly Manor season

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Last Friday it was announced that Oliver Jackson-Cohen of the Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House would be starring as THE INVISIBLE MAN for Blumhouse and Universal, and now comes word that Jackson-Cohen has signed on to appear in another genre project: he will be returning for the second season of The Haunting.

Jackson-Cohen won't be playing the same character in the new season, as the show is taking the anthology route. Telling "a new story with all new characters", season 2 is based on the 1898 Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw and will be titled The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Fellow Hill House cast member Victoria Pedretti is also back for the Bly Manor season. Her character is a governess named Dani, 

who takes care of two very unusual children.

Jackson-Cohen will be playing "a charming fellow" named Peter. That's all that has been revealed about his character, he's charming and his name is Peter.

Produced for Netflix by Mike Flanagan, Trevor Macy, Amblin TV, and Paramount Television, The Haunting of Bly Manor will debut on the Netflix streaming service sometime in 2020.
