It changed many elements from the novel, keeping mainly its Hill House setting, Mr and Mrs Dudley, and a few character names, but shifted the focus to members of a singular haunted 'Crain family.
If it lacks the emotional depth of Hill House, it's still well worth watching. Main article: The Haunting of Hill House (TV series) A loose television adaptation was released in 2018 to critical acclaim. Yet, the visual imagery-the physical appearances of who haunt the manor, in their various incarnations-is genuinely bone-chilling, and will haunt you long after watching.

Plenty of reviews are comparing Bly Manor to its predecessor Hill House and noting that this season is measurably less scary than the last-but doubles down on the psychological and symbolic meaning that made Hill House so watchable. Newcomers Amelia Eve and Catherine Parker will also join the cast. They'll be accompanied by Rahul Kohli from the CW's Supergirl who will play the resident chef Owen. T'Nia Miller from HBO's Years and Years will play the housekeeper of Bly Manor. As for Miles and Flora: The new kids on the block (literally) are Benjamin Ainsworth and Amelie Smith, who will play the two orphans. Pedretti, according to an interview Flanagan did with The Wrap, will play the governess-one "who takes care of two very unusual children," he said. Victoria Pedretti is also returning to the series (as a blonde this time!).
Returning favorites include Henry Thomas, who played young Hugh Crain, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, who took on the role of Luke Crain, and fan-favorite Kate Siegel, who is known for her iconic one-liners in the part of Theodora Crain.
