She’s back.
A very familiar face is returning for Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House follow-up, The Haunting of Bly Manor.
The show’s official Twitter account confirmed on Friday that Victoria Pedretti – who played the adult version of Nellie Crain in the supernatural horror’s first season – will be back.
Alongside a video of the actress, they wrote:
“Nellie Crain may be gone, but Victoria Pedretti is returning to the Haunting universe in The Haunting of Bly Manor coming 2020!”
In the video, Pedretti told fans she was “very excited” to be returning to the Haunting universe – and that she couldn’t want to start work on the series.

She said:
“Hey everyone. I’m very excited to announce that I will be returning to the Haunting universe, in season two: The Haunting of Bly Manor.
“I play Dani, a governess who takes care of two very unusual children.
“Our incredible writing team is writing the new season right now and I’m so excited to get going.
“It will hit Netflix in 2020 and I think you’re gonna love it”.
The news of a second season of the supernatural series was announced back in February of this year.
The horror series is being brought back as the ‘Haunting’ anthology, with a new story and all new characters.
Fans were asked to “listen closely” to a clip to try and figure out where the new season would take place.
Netflix later added a hint, telling fans that the series would be called The Haunting of *** ***** – before eventually revealing the full title, The Haunting of Bly Manor.
