It’s nearly time for another Haunting.

Netflix has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming horror series The Haunting of Bly Manor, which serves as a follow-up to 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House. The Haunting of Bly Manor will not continue Hill House’s story, but it will carry over its main cast - much like American Horror Story.

Watch the trailer:

Creator Mike Flanagan returns to showrun The Haunting of Bly Manor, another spooky haunted house story with creepy dolls, ghosts in lakes and children shushing demons. Here’s Netflix’s synopsis of the series:

After an au pair’s tragic death, Henry Wingrave (Henry Thomas) hires a young American nanny (Victoria Pedretti) to care for his orphaned niece and nephew (Amelie Bea Smith, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) who reside at Bly Manor with the estate’s chef Owen (Rahul Kohli), groundskeeper Jamie (Amelia Eve) and housekeeper, Mrs. Grose (T’Nia Miller). But all is not as it seems at the manor, and centuries of dark secrets of love and loss are waiting to be unearthed in this chilling gothic romance. At Bly Manor, dead doesn’t mean gone.

It looks like Mike Flanagan’s horror series will adapt different horror stories for each standalone season, while retaining its core cast. The Haunting of Bly Manor will be based on Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, as well as other stories by the same author.

The series hits Netflix on October 9, 2020. Just in time for Halloween!
