The Haunting will not scare viewers on Netflix with new stories anytime soon, if ever. The horror anthology has run for two seasons under the titles The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. The casts have included Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, and Katie Parker.
Mike Flanagan, the creator of the drama series, took to his Twitter account to talk about the possibility of future seasons of the anthology on Netflix. He said the following:
“At the moment there are no plans for more chapters. Never say never, of course, but right now we are focused on a full slate of other @intrepid projects for 2021 and beyond. If things change we will absolutely let everyone know!”
While a future season of The Haunting is not in the cards right now, Flanagan did hint about what he would like to explore if the show returned in the future. He said the following, per Entertainment Weekly:
“A ghost is an impact from the past on the present in every ghost story. That’s all it really is, no matter how you dress it up. A ghost is simply an element of the past that refuses to live in the past and instead just encroaches upon the present that it alters the present. It changes the trajectory of the person who’s experiencing that little piece of the past… That link between memory and ghosts and between ghosts and the past, that is the lifeblood of the show.”
What do you think? Did you watch The Haunting of Bly Manor? Are you surprised by the decision to not make future seasons?
One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Please brig it back!!!!
The haunting series should end effective immediately after season 2 destroyed what hill house had built. There was simply nithing scary or enjoyable of season 2, and for someone who loved Hill house as much as i did, I would prefer the haunting series ends now.
Hill house was definitely better but still binged the second Haunting. Certainly hope you continue to have future shows. Tired of vapid programming with only political strategies behind it. Please keep the Haunting series going.
So good really hope it continues more seasons so good get miniseries Shirley Jackson author awesome amazing love it Netflix worth binge watching hooked on new season. Highly don’t getting renewed another season. It’s little weird love season one way better story toward end season a lot better of the story.
It’s too bad they can’t find a way to continue the series I really enjoyed it very much and you get so engrossed in the characters that the end surprises you or at least it did me and I liked to show very much
The second season had its flaws but it still managed to be pretty good as it used Henry James “The Turn of the Screw” as the basis for the series. I would like to see a solid adaption of Richard Matheson’s tribute to Shirley Jackson Hell House get an extended mini-series.
IF YOU MAKE ANOTHER THE HAUNTING. MAKE IT LIKE “THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE”..THAT WAS AND ALWAYS WIL BE THE BEST…
Usually miniseries don’t last more than 1 season this season was weirdest. Need to end sorry my opinion.
Good to know, I’m now on Netflix anymore.
Ops not*
