Thrill seekers, unite! Netflix has announced that a new haunting is on the way. But before you get excited to see Michiel Huisman or those creepy kids again, take note that this isn’t exactly The Haunting of Hill House season 2.

So basically, this is an American Horror Story situation. Same concept, same creators, same general vibes, but a brand new story. And truly, they should feel totally welcome following in AHS’ footsteps and tossing some Michiel in to alll the new storylines. Throw some vampire teeth on him and write a quick blood-sucking plotline. Hand him a pumpkin and scribble a Halloween episode. More Michiel, that’s all we’re saying.
Okay, now that we’ve given Netflix our instructions, what do we know about this new The Haunting Of season? The new name is The Haunting of Bly Manor, and the episodes will drop sometime in 2020.
For those non-English majors out there, Bly Manor was the setting of Henry James’ gothic novel The Turning of the Screw. So it sounds like Haunting will be adapting that story for the small screen. What was that plot again (asking for a friend…)?
Just your classic ghost story, really: A woman is hired to nanny/babysit two orphan children, who live in a super scary, super haunted, super ghost-y mansion. The two kids claim they see ghosts. The woman can’t see them. So are the kids crazy, or is she?
We’ll be sure to update this post as more details are revealed. Just saying, it’s 2019, so Netflix should feel 100% at ease gender-flipping the classic and hiring a certain handsome show veteran to manny those kids.
