The actress had a bit of fun in her response to the creator’s announcement, tweeting a cheeky reply back at him.

Fans were initially sceptical about how the show could have a follow-up with the way the first season ended. The solution is apparently to make it an anthology like American Horror Story with the same cast playing different characters.
The new 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.
The Haunting of Bly Manor will be premiering on Netflix sometime in 2020, though no exact release date has been revealed.
You guessed it. The HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR, a new chapter in the Haunting series based on the works of Henry James, is coming in 2020. pic.twitter.com/nvhRBEfH2E
