4. The Haunting of Bly Manor

From The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan and producer Trevor Macy comes the next highly anticipated chapter of The Haunting anthology series, The Haunting of Bly Manor.

The Haunting of Bly Manor, set in 1980s England follows a tragic death of an au pair. Henry Wingrave (played by Henry Thomas) hires a young American nanny Dani Clayton (Victoria Pedretti) to care for his orphaned niece Flora and nephew Miles Wingrave (Amelia Bea Smith, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) who reside at Bly Manor with the estate’s chef Owen (Rahul Kohli), groundkeeper Jamie (Amelia Eve) and housekeeper, Mrs Grose (T’Nia Miller).

Also lurking in the manor are centuries of dark secrets of love and loss waiting to be unearthed in this chilling gothic romance. Similar to Hill House, dead doesn’t mean gone at Bly Manor.

Producing partners Flanagan and Macy drew from the iconic supernatural stories of Henry James, perfect to watch all the way into the Halloween month.

The cast include Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Peter Quint, Kate Siegel and Tahirah Sharif as Rebecca Jessel.

The Haunting of Bly Manor premieres on Netflix on 9 October.

5. Resident Evil

Netflix has confirmed a live action series after the popular Capcom survival horror video game Resident Evil. This time, it’s a brand new story across two timelines:

In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are moved to New Raccoon City. A manufactured, corporate town, forced on them right as adolescence is in full swing. But the more time they spend there, the more they come to realize that the town is more than it seems and their father may be concealing dark secrets. Secrets that could destroy the world.

In the second timeline, well over a decade into the future: there are less than fifteen million people left on Earth. And more than six billion monsters — people and animals infected with the T-virus. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past – about her sister, her father and herself – continue to haunt her.

If you’re wondering why the name Wesker rings a bell, it’s because Albert Wesker is the de facto villain and the former chairman of Umbrella in the Resident Evil movies starring Milla Jovovich.

While no dates have been announced, it’s confirmed there will be eight one-hour long episodes.
