The Haunting of Bly Manor

The Haunting of Bly Manor is an American drama-gothic romance streaming television series created by Mike Flanagan, and released on October 9, 2020 by Netflix. It mostly acts as an adaptation of the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, but also includes other elements either based on James’ other works or created for the show; it is also the second entry in Flanagan’s The Haunting anthology series, acting as a follow-up to 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House. It features much of Hill House‘s crew and some of the same cast, but the two series’ narratives are not connected.The Haunting of Bly Manor Season 1 Download
