There's another house ready to be haunted later this year.

The creator of The Haunting of Hill House has given an update on the follow-up series.

A sequel series, known as The Haunting of Bly Manor, is still awaiting a release date, but is thought to be coming out later in 2020.

Fans had been concerned about the status of the show due to social distancing measures brought about by COVID-19, which have seen a number of shows and films delayed.

The Haunting of Bly Manor, however, wrapped its filming before the measures were enforced, meaning that it was expected to be released as normal.

Series creator Mike Flanagan took to Twitter to confirm that the show would not be delayed, but that it didn’t yet have a confirmed release date.

"Going great. Still on schedule, we wrapped before the shutdown and post production has [been] carrying on from home.

"The show is shaping up wonderfully, I'm thrilled with it. At the moment no reason to think it'll be pushed. @netflix will announce the release date when they're ready."

The Haunting of Bly Manor will be adapted from The Turn of the Screw, an 1898 horror novella by Henry James, which has been used as inspiration for many shows, films and even radio plays.

Haunting of Hill House was a hugely successful show for Netflix, with most of the original cast returning for the new series.
