‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’ is a modern adaptation of the 1898 classic gothic horror novella ‘The Turn of the Screw’ by Henry James. It tells the story of an American au pair named Dani Clayton (Victoria Pedretti), who gets hired to take care of the recently-orphaned nephew and niece of Lord Henry Wingrave (Henry Thomas). She subsequently travels to Bly Manor, the family’s summer home in Essex, to assume her responsibilities. As the series progresses, the house begins revealing its dark and dreadful secrets to its newest inhabitant. ‘Bly Manor’ serves as the second season in Mike Flanagan’s (‘Gerald’s Game’) Netflix anthology series ‘The Haunting.’

The first season was released under the title ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ on October 12, 2018. The Haunting’ series is one of the most well-received horror TV shows in recent years. Since the release of ‘Bly Manor,’ the season has received widespread critical acclaim for the performances by its cast, impeccable direction, innovative camerawork, and uncomfortable and eerie score. The writers on the show have been praised for masterfully updating one of the cornerstones of the horror literature. While the show is set in Essex, England, in 1987, let us find out if it was filmed on location!
