The Haunting of Bly Manor is loosely based on the 1898 horror novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. The series is created by Mike Flanagan, who also created The Haunting of Hill House. Victoria Pedretti will play the role of Dani, a governess who looks after two very unusual children, and Jackson-Cohen will essay the character of Peter, a charming fellow. Henry Thomas and Kate Siegel are cast in undisclosed roles. While the creative team and many of the cast of Hill House is making a comeback for Bly Manor, the storytelling of the two series will not be linked with each other.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, creator Mike Flanagan said that The Haunting of Bly Manor provides a “new way to tell a love story,” and there are three of them that “really beat at the heart” of this season. He stated that they all have a “very dark” edge to them. The creator noted that it will be “really hard” to differentiate tragedy with romance, by the end of the series. Flanagan mentioned that sense of romantic longing for someone who meant so much but is now gone really is the heart of any ghost story.
