Of course, this means that there has also been a huge increase in the amount of this content being produced by studios and networks around the globe.

David Yates Set For Raindance Icon Award

David Yates is set to receive the Raindance Film Festival’s Icon Award. The Harry Potter filmmaker will receive the award at the festival’s Opening Gala party on October 25. Yates grew up in St. Helens, Merseyside. He won his first BAFTA Award for the BBC miniseries The Way We Live Now, starring Matthew Macfadyen and Shirley Henderson. Yates went on to helm the last four of the blockbuster Harry Potter films. “The Raindance Festival has been part of our filmmaking landscape for over thirty years, championing and showcasing the work of emerging writers, producers, and directors, from all over the world,” Yates said. “Elliot and his team have encouraged, inspired, and helped educate so many along the way, including me, and it’s an honor to be the recipient of a Raindance Icon Award as we celebrate and enjoy the work of...

BritBox‘s gripping crime drama The Tower is officially returning for Season 2, and TV Insider is exclusively debuting the trailer for the action-packed, four-episode season. In the video above, Tahirah Sharif (BAFTA-nominated for her work in Season 1) and Gemma Whelan return to their roles as rookie Police Constable Lizzie Adama and Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins. When a reopened cold case takes an unexpected turn, Sarah must face Lizzie once more. Premiering Tuesday, May 16 in North America, The Tower 2: Death Message is based on the second novel in author Kate London’s best-selling series. Following the dramatic climax of Season 1, Lizzie “returns to her London police station where she finds herself fighting to protect a mother and daughter in peril,” the logline describes. “Meanwhile, Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins (Whelan) has transferred to Homicide Command. When she is tasked with re-opening a cold case involving a missing schoolgirl, her investigations take an unexpected turn,...

“A Town Called Malice” on Sky Max is an experience that perfectly evokes the nostalgia of the 1980s and a charming vibrancy. The eighties-themed plot of “A Town Called Malice” is just one of the numerous elements that greatly contribute to the old wine in a new bottle allure. Every episode is titled after one of the most popular songs from that time period, such as “Cruel Summer” or “I Want to Know What Love Is,” which will undoubtedly attract aficionados of eighties music in a big way. In addition to fascinating revelations, as the plot develops, the series has a unique attractiveness thanks to its colorful cinematography and costume designs, which may compete with “Stranger Things”‘ outfit designs. The plot drags a little bit in the first six episodes, but it quickly picks up steam and makes for a fantastic viewing experience.

The Lords, a dysfunctional family of South London gangsters,...

To celebrate the release of A Town Called Malice, we spoke to the stars of the show.

Set in the eighties, A Town Called Malice revolves around a criminal family called The Lords. When the youngest of the family, Gene, and his girlfriend Cindy, get involved in a nasty crime, they are sent to the Costa Del Sol to escape. However, soon their family join them…

We spoke with lead actors Jack Rowen and Tahirah Sharif about coming together as this young couple whilst also unraveling their dark secrets.

We also spoke with Martha Plimpton and Eliza Butterworth about becoming the Lord family, jetting off to Spain, and creating the perfect accent.

A Town Called Malice is available on Sky Max and streaming service Now now!

Is there any corner of the globe left untouched by the British crime drama? If it’s not Kenneth Branagh stalking through the inky expanses of the Swedish winter, or Roger Allam quaffing rosé in Provence, it’s Ralf Little, Ben Miller, Kris Marshall or Ardal O’Hanlon nicking killers (and evading taxes) in Guadeloupe. Now, British crime turns its attention to the Costa del Sol with A Town Called Malice (Sky Max). a pulpy, blood-soaked vision of Brits abroad. “Death arrives on the Costa,” growls the local Spanish detective. “I like it.”

Gene (Jack Rowan) is the youngest of the Lord brothers, heirs-apparent to a south-London crime family. But he’s different, determined to make it as a newspaper journalist. “My family couldn’t lie in bed straight, but that’s not me,” he tells Cindy (Tahirah Sharif), a beautiful bartender. Soon enough, Gene and Cindy are engaged to be married,...

If you love the 1980s – specifically, the neon-lit, Talking Heads-blaring, Delboy swagger of the 1980s Cockney – then Sky’s new crime thriller A Town Called Malice is right up your street.

Meet the Lords

Created by The Sweeney’s Nick Love, this eight-part drama centres on the Lord family, a South London gang whose criminal heyday might be behind them, but who are still up for causing trouble. After a spot of bother with a rival gang (and leaving a policeman for dead), they flee to Spain’s Costa del Sol to lay low, and in amongst the pina coladas and palm trees realise they have a chance to recapture their former glory and become criminal top dogs once more.

The series premiered on Sky Max at 9pm on Thursday 16th March, and the full box-set is already available to watch on Now.

Who’s in the cast of A Town Called Malice?...

Sky has launched the teaser trailer for its upcoming crime thriller series ‘A Town Called Malice.’

This intoxicating cocktail of crime thriller and family saga in the early ’80s follows the Lords – a family of former South London gangsters who’ve fallen to the bottom of the criminal food chain – and they’re not happy about it. When they flee to the Costa del Sol in Spain following a gangland battle, the Lords realise this is a golden opportunity to re-invent themselves and re-capture their former glory. However, they spend as much time battling each other as they do their opponents. This high-octane, neon Western is a musical love letter to the ’80s – filled with romance, obsession, violence, deceit, and swagger.

The Lord family is headed up by Jason Flemyng as Albert Lord, Jack Rowan (Born to Kill) as Gene Lord, Tahirah Sharif (The Haunting of Bly Manor) joins as Cindy Carter,...

Mike Flanagan threw viewers a bit of a curveball with the second entry in his "Haunting" anthology series, 2020's "The Haunting of Bly Manor." Where the show's revered first outing, 2018's "The Haunting of Hill House," is horror through and through, its mostly well-received but slightly more divisive second entry is really a gothic romance that just happens to include literal ghosts. Yes, I'm using what you might call the "Crimson Peak" defense, but it applies here all the same.

Perhaps even more than "Hill House," "Bly Manor" plays fast and loose with its source material. Mainly a retelling of Henry James' classic 1898 gothic horror novella "The Turn of the Screw," the series adds elements from James' other works while also filling in the gaps in the romance between doomed lovers Peter Quint and Miss Jessel prior to the story's events. Interestingly, though, it wasn't the first off-shoot of James' novella to do this.

Channel 4 and HBO’s lauded drama It’s a Sin missed out in several major categories at the BAFTA TV Awards this evening, as the BBC and ITV emerged as the big winners. Scroll down for the full list.

Russell T Davies’ Red Production Company-created drama was up for Best Mini-Series, with Olly Alexander in contention for Leading Actor and Lydia West competing for Leading Actress.

However, BBC prison drama Time won the Mini-Series category, Sean Bean won Leading Actor for the same drama and Jodie Comer’s performance in Channel 4’s Help pipped West and Kate Winslet in the Leading Actress Category.

Compounding a disappointing evening for the hotly-tipped show, Callum Scott Howells, Omari Douglas and David Carlyle lost out to Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen in the Supporting Actor category. It’s a Sin writer Davies, who earlier today unveiled Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa as Doctor Who’s next Time Lord,...

British television stars are preparing for the biggest night on the calendar, with one title a firm favourite going into this evening’s BAFTA TV Awards.

Channel 4’s drama It’s a Sin, a drama about a group of young people facing the Aids crisis of the 1980s, is the firm frontrunner with 11 nominations including five acting nods.

See the full list of BAFTA TV Awards nominations below

The mini-series, created by former Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies, became Channel 4’s most successful ever drama when it was broadcast last year. Davies is also recognised in the Best Writer category this evening.

The international category is strong, with two global hits Succession (HBO) and Squid Game (Netflix) up against Call My Agent! and Lupin (both Netflix), Mare of Easttown (HBO) and The Underground Railroad (Amazon).

Other nominees include Kate Winslet (Mare of Easttown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), while Boiling...

Stars: Jordan Claire Robbins, Theo Rossi, Shane West, Julian Feder, Niki Kerro, Elena Juatco, Tahirah Sharif | Written by Emerson Moore, Sean Wathen, Joshua Dobkin | Directed by Emerson Moore

A group of strangers wake up somewhere with no idea of where they are, how they got there, or why they’re there. Sound familiar? That’s the starting point of Escape the Field, a new thriller from first-time feature director Emerson Moore and his co-writers Sean Wathen and Joshua Dobkin.

Sam wakes up, still in her scrubs, in a cornfield with a revolver and one bullet beside her. While she’s trying to figure out how she got there, or where “there” is, Tyler stumbles across her. They in turn run into other survivors, Ryan, Ethan, Rachel, and Denise. Eventually, they’re joined by Cameron.

It’s all very familiar territory, but Moore works it well. The cornfield is a wonderfully...

"There is no way out." Lionsgate has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror film titled Escape the Field, marking the feature debut of writer / director Emerson Moore. It's arriving to watch in early May for those curious to find out what's going on. The fear is inescapable in this horror-thriller about six strangers who suddenly awaken in a remote, endless cornfield. Stripped of their possessions, they are left with only six items: a gun with a single bullet, matches, a lantern, a knife, a compass, a flask of water. Escape the Field is the second major "stuck in an endless field" movie, following Vincenzo Natali's In the Tall Grass in 2019. This one looks like it has a few more twists, and seems a bit more like Cube or Saw or an Escape Room than Natali's supernatural thriller. Starring Jordan Claire Robbins, Theo Rossi, Tahirah Sharif, Julian Feder,...

Exclusive: BritBox North America has picked up exclusive North American rights to Game of Thrones star Gemma Whelan’s upcoming ITV thriller The Tower.

All episodes of Mammoth Screen/Windhover Films’ three-parter, which also stars The Haunting of Bly Manor’s Tahirah Sharif and Kate & Koji lead Jimmy Akingbola, will be released simultaneously on the platform on December 1 in North America.

The series will debut shortly on BritBox co-owner ITV in the UK and is distributed internationally by ITV Studios.

Based on former Detective Kate London’s debut novel Post Mortem and penned by Homeland writer and exec Patrick Harbinson, The Tower starts with Detectives Sarah Collins (Whelan) and Steve Bradshaw (Akingbola) being called to a shocking incident at Portland Tower in South London. Two people have fallen to their deaths: a veteran police officer and a teenage Muslim girl, and Collins sets out to uncover the truth.

Harbinson is...

Crystal Reed and Tahirah Sharif have signed on to star in Dead Giveaway, an indie comedy-thriller that is being directed by Ian Kimble.

The pic, which was written by Kimble, follows Lia (Reed) and Jill (Sharif). Jill is a hard-partying Philadelphian. This has resulted in some epic nights and legendary stories. What she never expected is waking up next to a stranger who has been brutally stabbed to death in her own bed. On this particular Sunday, that is exactly what she wakes up to. She and Lia spend their day trying to solve the mystery of the cadaver in Jill’s bed and still make it to brunch in time for mimosas.

Suzann Toni and Andrew Vogel of Dynasty Pictures will produce the indie, which will film in Philadelphia, Pa.

Reed is repped by ICM Partners and Silver Lining Entertainment.

[Spoiler Warning if you haven’t seen The Haunting of Bly Manor.]

In the last episode of The Haunting of Bly Manor, titled "The Beast In The Jungle," the Storyteller, played by Carla Gugino, finishes telling the story of Bly Manor and its residents. After almost all the guests go to sleep, one remains: a bride who will soon become a wife. The young woman looks at the other and says, "You said it was a ghost story. It isn't. It's a love story."

The bride's words are true. The Haunting of Bly Manor is a beautiful tale, a heart-wrenching gothic romance based on the works of Henry James. Flanagan did something extraordinary. The director, known from The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep, took the writer's work and transformed it into a refreshing sapphic love story that ultimately relates to the LGBTQ+ society on a very personal, deep level.

When we meet the American au pair,...

From the get-go, The Haunting of Bly Manor doesn't mince the tragedy of Rebecca Jessel (Tahirah Sharif), the bright nanny preceding Dani Clayton (Victoria Pedretti). Right after Dani's interview, Henry Wingrave (Henry Thomas) tells her that her predecessor died on the grounds by killing herself. The housekeeper, Hannah (T'Nia Miller), later explains to Dani that Miss Jessel waded into Bly's lake about a year ago when her relationship with Peter Quint (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) went awry. But of course, there's more to this ghost story than meets the eye.

Similar to the development in The Turn of the Screw, it's true that Peter Quint is bad news from the beginning and that he and Rebecca have a whirlwind romance. Rebecca enters Bly full of potential and on her way to becoming a barrister. When she meets Peter, Henry's assistant, her life turns upside down. But then, Peter disappears. Everyone assumes he left,...

(Warning: This post contains major spoilers for “The Haunting of Bly Manor” through its finale.)

Two of the most pivotal characters in Netflix’s “The Haunting of Bly Manor” are the two youngest residents of Bly, 8-year-old girl Flora Wingrave and her 10-year-old brother, Miles, as they know more about the secrets of the chilling estate than anyone else on the grounds, including their new au pair, Dani (Victoria Pedretti). And that’s because a good chunk of the time the children are actually inhabited by two very different people: the ghosts of Peter Quint (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and Rebecca Jessel (Tahirah Sharif).

For “Bly Manor” stars Amelie Bea Smith, 9, and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, 12, this meant playing two parts in one, a task they took on with the help of their counterparts Jackson-Cohen and Sharif.

“It was working with Ollie to make sure we get one character and the other and splitting them,...

Terrifying faceless spirits run amok in The Haunting of Bly Manor, and they symbolize how both memory and physical features slowly fade over time. In episode six, Rebecca Jessel (Tahirah Sharif) tucks Flora (Amelie Bea Smith) away into an older memory. As Flora wakes up, someone falls to the side of her bed: a faceless boy in dated clothing. But who is this creepy child? The mystery soon unravels two episodes later as we learn about Bly's cursed history. The faceless boy in Flora's room, it turns out, is one of the Lady in the Lake's unsuspecting victims.

Right after the boy reveals himself to Flora, her mother and Uncle Henry (Henry Thomas) - who are having an affair - check the room. They don't see him. Flora wakes up and realizes that she's been "tucked away," which is when the consciousness gets pushed back to a memory as a spirit occupies the body.

(Warning: This post contains major spoilers through “The Haunting of Bly Manor” finale.)

Among the complex villains “The Haunting of Bly Manor” gives us is Peter Quint (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), the devilishly charming employee of Henry Wingrave (Henry Thomas) who falls madly in love with Rebecca Jessel (Tahirah Sharif), the whip-smart au pair to Henry’s young niece, Flora (Amelie Bea Smith), and nephew, Miles (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth).

Peter proves himself to repeatedly be a selfish person, both before and after he is killed by the Lady in the Lake, with two very specific instances being his biggest transgressions throughout the second season of Mike Flanagan’s Netflix anthology. The first is when he commits suicide for Rebecca by entering her body with her permission and then drowning her against her will. The second is when Peter convinces young Miles and Flora to give up their own little bodies to Peter and Rebecca’s spirits,...

The following contains spoilers for The Haunting of Bly Manor.

While many have pointed out that The Haunting of Bly Manor is not quite as scary as its predecessor, it certainly has a more satisfying conclusion. The Haunting of Hill House seemed to lose its nerve in the final hour, delivering an ending that was too saccharine and unearned. On the flipside, Bly Manor concludes its story in heart wrenching, then bitter sweet fashion, revealing the identity of the series’ mysterious narrator, detailing the fates of the 1987-set characters, and expelling the spirits of the titular manor.

Here is what really happens at the end of The Haunting of Bly Manor.

The Romance of Certain Old Clothes

Much of episode 9 “The Beast in the Jungle” is informed by the penultimate episode “The Romance of Certain Old Clothes,” a break from Bly Manor’s central story and a loose adaptation of...

Sorry, horror fans, but Bly Manor, the setting for Netflix's upcoming The Haunting of Bly Manor, isn't a real place you can visit! While many shows film at real locations that fans seek out and drive by, we actually don't have any info on where "Bly Manor" actually is, or if it's a real setting rather than a constructed set. What do we know about the fictional Bly Manor and its real-life counterpart?

In The Turning of the Screw, the Henry James novella on which the show is based, Bly Manor (referred to in the story as simply "Bly") is actually described in pretty nonspooky terms. Here's how the governess who narrates the story describes her first impression of the house:

"I suppose I had expected, or had dreaded, something so melancholy that what greeted me was a good surprise. I remember as a most pleasant impression the broad,...

The following contains spoilers for every episode of The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Henry James (probably known as Hank Jim to his friends) is one of the most prominent and prolific writers of his era. Originally appreciated for his novels like The Portrait of a Lady and The Ambassadors, James is now best-known for his 1898 work The Turn of the Screw, an eerie, ambiguous ghost story novella that would become one of the most enduring Gothic horror texts ever.

The Turn of the Screw has been adapted dozens of times into films, operas, ballets, and more. And James’s classic story forms the basis for Netflix’s Haunting of Hill House follow up The Haunting of Bly Manor. Just as Hill House uses Shirley Jackson’s horror story as a jumping off point, so too does Bly Manor liberally borrow from The Turn of the Screw. But that’s not...

“The Haunting of Bly Manor,” the second chapter of Mike Flanagan’s “The Haunting” anthology, launches Friday with a completely different story and characters from its first season, “The Haunting of Hill House.” But while Bly is home to different residents, some of its key inhabitants are played by those who dwelled in Hill House, including Victoria Pedretti and Oliver Jackson-Cohen.

In short, the two seasons are just “wildly different,” Pedretti told TheWrap.

For 2018’s “Hill House,” based on the Shirley Jackson novel the same name, Pedretti and Jackson-Cohen played twins Nellie and Luke Crain, the youngest members of large a family that moved into the central haunted house one summer and were forever traumatized by the events that occurred there.

In “Bly Manor,” the actors play two strangers versus a set of siblings: Dani Clayton, who comes to Bly to become a nanny to two “unusual” young children, and Peter Quint,...

Want to buy the mansion of Netflix’s “The Haunting of Bly Manor?” Well, here’s your chance: the house is listed on Zillow, accompanied by plenty of photos to give you the creeps.

Ok, you can’t actually buy the house. It’s just a clever marketing campaign for the show that is releasing on Oct. 9.

“Bly Manor is a perfectly splendid 17th-century home in the English Countryside,” the listing reads. “The Manor is currently inhabited by the remaining members of the Wingrave family and their staff, who welcome guests of all ages and backgrounds to stay as long as they’d like.”

See Video: 'Haunting of Bly Manor' Trailer: Welcome to Bly Manor - If You're Born Here, You Die Here

According to the listing, the property features “markings of its previous residents” and an “airy and expansive quality, particularly in the evenings.” However, the master wing is “off limits.

In the new, cancellation-happy era of Netflix (the latest victims: the fun yet thoughtful Teenage Bounty Hunters, the un-renewed cult favorite Glow), it seems the safest thing a creator can make is not a sprawling tale requiring many seasons, but something tight and cancel-proof, like a limited series or an anthology show. This week’s entry into the field is The Haunting of Bly Manor, a spiritual sequel to 2018’s Haunting of Hill House.

The source material is different (the writing of Henry James, primarily The Turn of the Screw), as are all the characters,...

As someone who is a big fan of Henry James’ work, and also counts The Innocents as one of the greatest horror movies of all time (you can read my tribute to Jack Clayton’s film Here), I have been eagerly anticipating Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Bly Manor adaptation for Netflix, as I was extremely curious about how this story would parlay into a nine-episode series. Thankfully, Bly Manor ended up surpassing any lofty expectations I might have had going into this new show, proving that even after countless versions of The Turn of the Screw over the decades, there are still ways to take this story in new and exciting directions.

While it may not necessarily be quite as heavy on the horror as The Haunting of Hill House was, Bly Manor is still an incredible feat in storytelling, and everyone involved with the series should be...

Netflix has premiered the first full trailer of the horror series ‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’, from ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ creator Mike Flanagan and producer Trevor Macy.

The next highly-anticipated chapter of The Haunting anthology series, set in 1980s England. After an au pair’s tragic death, Henry Wingrave (Henry Thomas) hires a young American nanny (Victoria Pedretti) to care for his orphaned niece and nephew who reside at Bly Manor with the estate’s chef Owen (Rahul Kohli), groundskeeper Jamie (Amelia Eve) and housekeeper, Mrs. Grose (T’Nia Miller). But all is not as it seems at the manor, and centuries of dark secrets of love and loss are waiting to be unearthed in this chilling gothic romance. At Bly Manor, dead doesn’t mean gone.

“The Haunting of Bly Manor,” the upcoming season of Mike Flanagan’s Netflix anthology series, released a followu up trailer that attempts to give a bit of plot details on this new horror series.

But one thing that does seem apparent, the ghostly trials faced by the Crain family in “The Haunting of Hill House” are over, as the show zooms in on the Wingraves. Set to the a slowed down version of Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home,” because cuing up a super slowed down cover of an 80s anthem is a literal requirement of every trailer now, the footage shows the next spooky house of horrors.

While the plot, like the lady in the lake showcased in this new footage, is still a bit murky here’s what we know for sure. The next series is based on the 1898 horror novella, “The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James,...

Netflix dropped the long-awaited trailer for “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” its follow up to 2018’s “The Haunting of Hill House,” on Wednesday. And it’s safe to say that Bly Manor is definitely going to give Hill House a run for its money in the creepiest haunted house race.

In the 2-minute, 28-second video, which you can view here and above, you’ll meet Dani (played by “Hill House” alum Victoria Pedretti), an American who takes a job at an English estate called Bly Manor in the ’80s, serving as a nanny to two young children who have recently lost their parents. Unfortunately for Dani — and everyone else at Bly Manor — the place is clearly plagued with ghosts.

It’s not easy to tell just based on the trailer, which is set to an instrumental version of “Home Sweet Home” by Mötley Crüe, who is dead, who is alive...

When news broke that The Haunting of Bly Manor was going to be scarier than its predecessor, The Haunting of Hill House, we were appropriately terrified. The recently released trailer solidified our fears with dolls that moved on their own, children that seemed just a little bit off, and a whole slew of new ghosts. So, when can you expect more jump scares? The new season will hit Netflix on Oct. 9 - just in time for a Halloween binge-sesh.

This season stars a few familiar faces like Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Henry Thomas, as well as a few new ones, including Rahul Kohli, T'Nia Miller, Tahirah Sharif, Amelie Bea Smith, and Amelia Eve. Unlike Hill House which was truly about a family, showrunner Mike Flanagan told Vanity Fair that Bly Manor would be about romance. "They all have a very dark edge to them. And by the end, it's...

Netflix has premiered the first teaser trailer of the horror series ‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’, from ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ creator Mike Flanagan and producer Trevor Macy.

The next highly-anticipated chapter of The Haunting anthology series, set in 1980s England. After an au pair’s tragic death, Henry Wingrave (Henry Thomas) hires a young American nanny (Victoria Pedretti) to care for his orphaned niece and nephew who reside at Bly Manor with the estate’s chef Owen (Rahul Kohli), groundskeeper Jamie (Amelia Eve) and housekeeper, Mrs. Grose (T’Nia Miller). But all is not as it seems at the manor, and centuries of dark secrets of love and loss are waiting to be unearthed in this chilling gothic romance. At Bly Manor, dead doesn’t mean gone.

The series also stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, and Tahirah Sharif.

“The Haunting of Bly Manor,” Netflix’s highly-anticipated follow-up to “The Haunting of Hill House,” will launch Oct. 9, the streamer announced Monday.

In a teaser also released Monday (which you can watch above), a woman’s voice narrates, saying she has a “ghost story” to share. What follows are quick shots from inside the titular Bly Manor, including Victoria Pedretti’s character stumbling across a creepy doll and another doll moving on its own after Pedretti leaves the room; a woman emerging from an icy lake on a cold night; a seemingly lifeless body floating in that same lake; and Amelie Bea Smith’s character shushing an ethereal voice humming a creepy tune. For all of these scares, though, the show is being called “chilling gothic romance” by Netflix.

The new nine-episode season comes from Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy is the next “chapter” in the overall “Haunting” anthology. This...

Netflix has finally set the premiere date for “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” the long-awaited second season of Mike Flanagan’s “The Haunting” anthology series, and released the first teaser for the chilling new ghost story.

The streaming service revealed Monday that “Bly Manor,” the followup to 2018’s “The Haunting of Hill House,” will debut Oct. 9. You can watch the 1-minute, 7-second preview of “Bly Manor” here and via the video above.

Whereas the 10-episode first season of “The Haunting” was a modern retelling of Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel “The Haunting of Hill House,” the 9-episode second season is an adaptation of the supernatural stories written by Henry James, including “The Turn of the Screw.”

"It's like Bridezilla in reverse!" Netflix has debuted their official trailer for the cheesy romantic comedy A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, a sequel to the film released last year A Christmas Prince. In the first one, a journalist falls in love with the prince and ends up with plans to soon marry him. In this one, with the royal wedding ceremony approaching on Christmas night, she starts to feel unsure and isn't entirely ready to make the leap. All the while, the prince ends up in a political crisis of his own. The Royal Wedding once again stars Rose McIver and Ben Lamb from the first, with a cast including Alice Krige, Richard Ashton, Tahirah Sharif, Joel McVeagh, and Clara Ciobanu. This lead actress reminds me too much of Keri Russell, but no. This looks very sweet and campy, but maybe there's a few good lessons in the film.
