Meet 'The Haunting Of Bly Manor' Cast

The Haunting of Bly Manor only hit Netflix last month, but it has easily become one of the most talked-about shows of 2020! Based on the work of English author Henry James— including his novella The Turn of the Screw and several of his poems— Bly Manor is the second instalment of Netflix's The Haunting anthology series. While many of the cast members from 2018's The Haunting of Hill House make an appearance, there are also quite a few fresh faces! Read on to find out more about this suspenseful gothic romance by meeting the "perfectly splendid" cast and characters of The Haunting of Bly Manor... 

"Dani Clayton" is a bubbly young woman from the midwest who moves to London in the hopes of starting her life anew and moving on from her tragic past. Formerly an elementary school teacher, she ends up taking a job as au pair to two peculiar children— "Flora" and "Miles"— at Bly Manor. She is played by...

...Victoria Pedretti! Born on March 23, 1995 in Philadelphia, Pedretti started out starring in short films while still in school. Her big break came when she landed the role of "Nell Crain" in 2018's The Haunting of Hill House shortly after graduating from the Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama. She then went on to join the second season of the MTV drama You as "Love Quinn," and appeared in the 2019 film Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. Currently, she's filming season 3 of You!

"Jamie" is the gardener at Bly, who has a love of overalls and flannel, a sarcastic sense of humour, and a preference for plants over humans. However, she and "Dani" end up growing close to one another over the course of the series, making her consider that on the rare occasion, people are worth the effort. She is played by...

...Amelia Eve! Born in the United Kingdom, Eve is a relative newcomer to the industry, having only appeared in a few short films and the television series Enterprice before landing her breakout role of "Jamie". She has three films set to be released— Shadowland, Dorcha, and Phea. Also, it was recently announced that Eve signed with the agency Anonymous Content, so hopefully we'll see even more from her in the near future!

"Owen Sharma" is the resident cook at Bly, known for his terrible puns and wonderful food. A chef with a heart of gold, "Owen" is kind, patient, and harbours feelings for the housekeeper, "Hannah". He is played by...

...Rahul Kohli! Before playing "Owen," the London-born Kohli was best known for playing "Ravi Chakrabarti" in iZombie. He's appeared in various short films and guest starred on Supergirl, and voices "Scarecrow" in the animated Harley Quinn. Currently, Kohli is filming the new Netflix horror show Midnight Mass, which is created by Mike Flanagan— who's also behind The Haunting series!

The housekeeper at Bly Manor, "Hannah Grose" helps to maintain the estate while keeping an eye on "Flora" and "Miles". However, not all is as it seems in her past, as she lives in denial of her reality.

She is played by...

...T'Nia Miller! Born in London, Miller has had roles in British television series such as Years and Years, Free Rein, and Sex Education. Her newest project is the show La Fortuna, which is currently in production. She's also openly queer!

"Henry Wingrave" is the uncle of "Flora" and "Miles". Often absent from their lives, he struggles with an alcohol addiction and his own inner demons.

He is played by...

...Henry Thomas! Born in San Antonio, Texas, the actor is known for playing the young protagonist "Elliot" in Steven Spielberg's 1982 sci-fi film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. In recent years, he's appeared in several films and television shows— including 2018's The Haunting of Hill House as the young version of "Hugh Crain," and Doctor Sleep. He is also the frontman of a band called Farspeaker and has several film projects currently in the works, including the Netflix horror series Midnight Mass!
