Mike Flanagan’s idea to hide ghosts in the background gave an enigmatic and eerie feel to the series and earned massive acclaim from fans as well as critics.Mike Flanagan has also been credited for steering the wheel for last year’s Halloween release Doctor Sleep; a sequel to the vintage Stanley Kubrick film The Shining (a film based on a splendid literary piece written by Stephen King).The prequel “The Haunting of the Hill House” was based on a 1959 novel of the same name written by Shirley Jackson.
The premise, event, and conclusion of the novel were not directly written down in secret, but instead, they were reimagined, and it will only be the truth if it is said that they imagined it emphatically.The sequel “The Haunting of the Bly Manor” has been treated in a similar fashion and the plot from the 1898 horror story “The Turn of the Screw” written by Henry James has been reimagined for “The Haunting of Bly Manor.”The ensemble cast is expected to have familiar faces from the prequel, but some faces will not be featured in the sequel.
The cast that can be expected in the sequel is the combination of the familiar and the new faces.
Reportedly that includes Kate Seigel, Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Henry Thomas, Amelia Eve, Amelie Smith, Rahul Kohli, and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth.Apparently, Mike Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Elizabeth Reaser are not part of the Haunting of Bly Manor in any capacity.It is also imperative to understand the meaning of an anthological sequel.
