Featuring new characters, a new haunting and some familiar faces (Victoria Pedretti, you can do no wrong), the new series won't be continuing the story of the Crain family, but rather, an entirely new family with new problems, new ghosts, and new occurrences to be terrified by.
The Haunting of Bly Manor, based on Henry James' terrifying novel The Turn of the Screw, tells the story of a governess who assumes the care of two young orphans.
The governess, played by Pedretti, adopts the unusual Wingrave orphans, and soon begins to experience some strange happenings, leading to her becoming convinced that the manor, and the grounds surrounding it, are haunted.
Hill House's Jackson Cohen, who played Luke Crain in season one, is returning to play the role of Peter, "a charming young man who lives at Bly," while Henry Thomas is back to play Henry Wingrave, the orphans' uncle.
There's a whole host of new cast members too, including T'Nia Miller as Hannah Grose, the manager of Bly Manor, Tahirah Sharif, Amelia Eve and Rahul Kohli.
Netflix has yet to confirmed an exact release date for the upcoming series, but we do know that it's going to be in the autumn.
Probably close enough to Halloween. That'd make sense now, wouldn't it?
