Dani is an American au-pair who takes care of two orphans in England, and they all live in the family mansion at Bly Manor, including the help consisting of chef Owen, housekeeper Hannah and gardener Jamie.
The follow up season after The Haunting Of Hill House is completely independent and self sufficient, with no other connection to the first but the familiar faces of some of the actors. Largely based on The Turn Of The Screw novella by Henry James, The Haunting Of Bly Manor is modernized, adapted to the '80s era, and enriched with many complex characters and interactions between them which follow completely original secondary narrative threads of great interest. The dialogue is often very subtle and full of meaning, contributing immensely to the developing of the characters and the general impression on the viewer. In general, this season is less focused on the elements of horror, the emphasis being on mystery, the development of complex characters and their likeableness and ultimately the love story that fills the season finale.
