Will there be a new series of The Haunting of Bly Manor?
Although a third addition to The Haunting franchise would delight fans, there’s nothing set in stone…yet.
Cast member Oliver Jackson-Cohen recently revealed to The Wrap that although he’s sure that the cast would “definitely collaborate and work with” the show’s creator, Mike Flanagan, again, there’s “nothing concrete.”
“It’s one of those where, if Bly Manor does well, then I’m sure conversations will happen with Netflix,” Oliver told Entertainment Weekly. “But it’s entirely up to Mike and entirely up to what ideas he’s got up his sleeve. But I think all of us would definitely collaborate and work with him again if the opportunity arose. There here is genuinely nothing concrete as of now.”
So there may be some more eerie episodes for fans to look forward to in the future.
