After Bly Manor, Flanagan wanted to bring Richard Matheson’s Hell House novel to life for Netflix.
Mike Flanagan’s been a well-known horror director for years, but 2018’s Haunting of Hill House series for Netflix arguably put him in the spotlight. After following that up with Haunting of Bly Manor two years later, Flanagan’s been busy with other series for the streamer like last year’s The Midnight Club and more recently The Fall of the House of Usher. That last one may end up being the last we get from him, Netflix-wise, as he’s now moving over to Amazon to spearhead a TV show for Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.
But as busy as his schedule was and still is, Flanagan planned to return to the series that made him a household horror name. In the new limited edition of Richard Matheson’s 1971 novel Hell House, the filmmaker wrote a foreword revealing that Haunting was going to live past Bly Manor.
