Premise: The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan is back with the next chapter of The Haunting anthology series, titled The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Set in England during the 1980s, Henry Wingrave (Thomas) hires a young American nanny (Pedretti) to look after his orphaned niece and nephew, who live in Bly Manor along with the estate’s chef, groundskeeper, and housekeeper.

Much like 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House (many of the actors returned for Bly Manor), years of dark secrets of love and loss are waiting to be unearthed on the grounds of Bly Manor. The story is based on the supernatural gothic romance stories of author Henry James.
