'The Haunting of House Hill' Season 2 Will Be "Unbelievably Scary"

Are you ready for The Haunting of Bly Manor? I'm going to hold my hand up straight away and admit that I haven't yet watched any of The Haunting of House Hill. I just haven't gotten around to it. I'm not scared or anything *whimpers But anybody I know who has watched it has assured me that it's the most chilling show you will ever see. And I don't mean a relaxing kinda chill! Have a look for yourself: Season 2 is is a brand new story with new characters and is based on the works of one of the greatest novelists in the English language, Henry James, who's ghost novella The Turning of the Screw is the inspiration for the new title The Haunting of Bly Manor. James was renowned for his "ability to create an intimate sense of confusion and suspense within the reader" - this added to producer Mike Flanagan's (who was behind season 1) vision means I'm gonna need a defibrillator when it comes out. Flanagan has confirmed it will be "unbelievably scary" and Netflix have given the release date to be sometime in 2020, with no specific date revealed. Today FM's Maria's Telly takes a look at the spooky series and has news of another show returning to our screens tonight - MTV Cribs UK.
