'Haunting of Hill House' renewed for anthology series, and we now know the name of season 2

The hit horror series will be back for a second season, but don't expect the same characters.

The hit Netflix thriller “The Haunting of Hill House” has been renewed for a second season – but it’ll look a little different.

Thanks to the show’s wild success and a reported multi-year deal between its executive producers and Netflix, “Haunting” will become an anthology series on the streaming giant.

Season two, dubbed “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” will debut in 2020.

Seven-year-old Dallas native Julian Hilliard stole the show in the first season, based on a 1959 novel about a family’s encounters with ghosts while trying to flip and sell a Massachusetts home with a disturbing history.

“Bly Manor,” though, will feature “a new story with all new characters,” according to E! News. It’ll be based on the late-19th century novel “The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James.

When WFAA interviewed Hilliard in October, “Haunting” was the second most-watched show on Netflix, according to Business Insider. It finished 2018 as the streaming giants' seventh most-binge-watched show of the year, and it carries a hefty 92 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
