It is being said that ‘the home is where the heart is’. But what if your ‘home sweet home’ is both a comfort and curse for you?
The Bly Manor welcomes its new residents with an eerie gesture. As the trailer for the next haunting season unveils, it sends a chill of fear through your spines. The Haunting of Bly Manor is the next story by The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan’s anthology series.
The official trailer opens up with a piano slowly playing the melody to Mötley Crüe’s 1895 song, ‘Home Sweet Home’ as star Victoria Pedretti finds herself in the thick of a new chilling tale. After playing Nell Crain in Hill House, Pedretti now plays Dani Clayton, an American who comes to be the new au pair to two trouble children at their family’s estate in the English town of Bly in the 1980’s.
“The people here, they’re born here, they die here,” Rahul Kohli, playing the manor’s on-site chef, Owen, warns in the footage. Given that Flanagan and executive producer Trevor Macy are injecting more supernatural scares into this season, it’s safe to assume those people are still at Bly even after their death.
Flora (Amelie Bea Smith) and Miles (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) Wingrave are the two children in Dani’s care. They lost their parents in the years prior and, more recently, they lost their au pair. Groundskeeper Jamie (Amelia Eve) and housekeeper Mrs. Grose (T’Nia Miller) also reside on the property, but Dani soon comes to realize there are many more secrets kept behind the closed doors.
Flanagan and Macy have bought few more actors from their Hill House cast to take on new roles for Bly Manor, including Henry Thomas (Flora and Miles’ emotionally distant uncle) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Peter Quint from Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw). Kate siegel and Katie Parker are also cast in mystery roles.
The Haunting of Bly Manor will be premiered on Netflix this October 9.
