The Haunting of Bly Manor is an adaptation of the 1898 classic novel, The Turn of the Screw. The book, penned by Henry James, has been widely regarded as one of the best horror stories in all of literature. The plot of the book revolves around a governess who arrives at an English country estate to care for the young Miles and Flora. As everything seems to be normal at first, terrifying events gradually begin to start.
The story has been adapted a few times in the past, including The Innocents (1961), and a web-movie produced by the BBC in 2009. No footage of the show has been revealed yet. However, Mike Flanagan did previously hint that he believes season 2 will be much scarier than season 1. The cast includes Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, Catherine Parker, T'Nia Miller, Rahul Kohli, Amelia Eve, Benjamin Ainsworth and Amelie Smith.
