‘Haunting of Hill House’ star set to return for second season
Mike Flanagan’s Netflix horror-anthology series is getting a follow-up to the first season’s The Haunting of Hill House, and Victoria Pedretti is going to be returning.
The actress is now confirmed to be leading the follow-up, The Haunting of Bly Manor, according to the streaming company.

Pedretti is also currently set to appear in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Apple’s Amazing Stories anthology series. This time around, Pedretti’s set to portray a governess, Dani, who is looking after two unique children.
Some fans were sceptical about how the show could have a follow-up after the first season came to an end. The solution is apparently to make it an anthology like American Horror Story with the same cast playing different characters.

“Well, I can’t say anything definitive at this point, other than Mike and I really love collaborating and working together and any opportunity where a schedule allows for us to do that, we will, and I would be honored to,” Gugino told TheWrap.
The title suggests the series will be based on an 1890s horror story called The Turn of the Screw. The story involves a governess watching over two orphans following the death of their parents at Bly Manor. She begins seeing ghosts, and the situation gets sinister.
