Mike Flanagan's Next Season of Hill House to Be an Adaptation of The Turn of the Screw

Written By Michael Wense

Exciting news from the Netflix front: Mike Flanagan’s highly anticipated follow-up to 2018’s excellent The Haunting of Hill House will be an adaptation of the classic novella The Turn of the Screw.

Originally, what was floated as a second season of Hill House has transformed into an anthology approach for the series (which for this season Deadline says will be titled The Haunting of Bly Manor).

I can’t wait to see what Flanagan does with this. I was blown away by Hill House last year as a genuinely frightening, emotionally poignant reworking of the source material. Flanagan’s on a roll right now, and I’m on board.
