Oliver Jackson-Cohen, who plays the titular character in The Invisible Man, says that Haunting of Hill House director Mike Flanagan has “knocked it out of the park” with the second installment of the Netflix anthology series. The British actor stopped by Yahoo Entertainment to talk about what’s in store when Haunting of Bly Manor drops on the streaming service later this year.
For those not familiar, Haunting of Hill House was quite possibly the biggest thing on Netflix in 2018. The show was loosely — extremely loosely — based on the 1959 novel by Shirley Jackson. Indeed, the only real connection between the source material and the Netflix series was that the show and movie both took place in a creepy old haunted mansion. That, and show creator Mike Flanagan snuck in several sly references to the book and its author, such as in the names of characters.
