The Haunting of Hill House was one hell of a haunted house story, and Mike Flanagan will be following up the Netflix series with The Haunting of Bly Manor, which will be based on Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw" and feature a new story with all-new characters. The new season will star Victoria Pedretti, who played Nell on the first season, as a woman who moves to the English countryside to look after two orphaned children.
Netflix has dropped the first poster for The Haunting of Bly Manor, which, much like the hidden ghosts of the first season, contains a few secret faces just below the surface.
The official Twitter account for The Haunting of Bly Manor also dropped a handful of new photos from the series that features more than a few familiar faces. Check those out below.

Speaking of those hidden ghosts that fans loved to spot throughout the first season, they'll be back for The Haunting of Bly Manor, but this time, Mike Flanagan will be taking them to the next level. While speaking with Vanity Fair, Flanagan said that the hidden ghosts will be telling a story of their own rather than serving as creepy easter eggs. "This season we wanted our hidden elements to tell their own story," Flanagan said. "Unlike the first season, they’re actually going to be explained. By the end of the season, you’re going to know who they are and why they’re there."
The Haunting of Bly Manor will debut on Netflix this fall.
