Is 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' a sequel?

Technically, The Haunting of Bly Manor is a follow-up to 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House, with much of the same forged and creative staff returning to the collection. However, the narratives of the 2 collection aren't hooked up. 

The Haunting of Hill House used to be tailored from Shirley Jackson’s 1959 horror novel of the similar identify. The Haunting of Bly Manor, alternatively, takes inspiration from Henry James’ famous Gothic-Romance classic The Turn of the Screw, in addition to from other Henry James ghost tales.

Which members of the solid from 'The Haunting of Hill House' have returned for 'The Haunting of Bly Manor'?

A host of cast contributors who performed the Crain circle of relatives made repeat appearances in The Haunting of Bly Manor, but as contemporary new characters. Victoria Pedretti (You, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), who stood out in her role as Nell Crain in Hill House, returned to once again play the lead in The Haunting of Bly Manor, American au pair Dani Clayton.

Henry Thomas, who played Hugh Crain in Hill House, is coming back this time as Henry Wingrave, the person who hires Dani to appear after his niece and nephew. The children are performed via younger stars Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Amelie Smith (who weren't in Hill House).

The Haunting of Bly Manor debuted on Netflix on Oct. 9, 2020 and whilst the sequence was once met with some starkly combined opinions — people both liked it or hated it, many people wanted to know if there was once going to be a third access within the Haunting series.

It does not look like there's going to be a Season 3 of any 'Haunting' sequence. So no new 'Hill House' or 'Bly Manor' entries either.

Showrunner Mike Flanagan has said on Twitter that there aren't any further plans for brand new entries in the Haunting sequence on Netflix as Intrepid Pictures has its hands full with different productions nowadays. It's arduous to suppose that Netflix wouldn't at least believe a third access in the sequence. Even regardless that audiences gave the impression to be cut up down the middle as to the Bly Manor story, I'd assume that audience would no less than give a third series a chance.

What do you think? Did you watch both Hill House and Bly Manor? Did you favor one over the other? Or did you think they had been each great? Or have been you now not inspired with both?
