Haunting of the Hill House S2 is full of surprises: Mike Flanagan

"Haunting of Hill House" creator Mike Flanagan has teased that upcoming sophomore season of horror-anthology series will have "wonderful surprises" for audience. "Hill House", which premiered on streaming platform Netflix in 2018, was based on Shirley Jackson's gothic horror vel of same name.

It focused on Crain family, shifting between ir past selves living in spirit-infested Hill House and ir present selves dealing with both psychological and supernatural demons that haunt m. Titled " Haunting of Bly Mar", season two of series derives its title from setting of Henry James'' 1898 vella " Turn of Screw", which features story of two orphans looked after by a young governess, who acts as narrator.

" most exciting thing about 'Bly Mar', for me, is in way that we got to expand on Shirley Jackson universe in season one. While season two is inspired mostly by ' Turn of Screw', which has been apted so many times, we also were able to mine rest of Henry James's ghost stories to fill out season.

"Even if you kw ' Turn of Screw' really well, and a lot of people do  re's a new 'Turn of Screw' movie coming out in like January. y come out every three months, wher you need it or t," Flanagan told Digital Spy. He said creating second season has been a great journey.

"Even kwing that, re's a tonne of wonderful surprises to this season that come from some of his ghost stories that have never been apted. But y all matically fit toger really nicely. "So it's been a real joy crafting narrative of this season. And I think if people liked season one, re's going to be a lot more to like in second season."

Actors Kate Siegel, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Victoria Pedretti and Henry Thomas are returning for "Bly Mar".It is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in 2020.
