Kate Siegel Joins “Hill House” Alum For “The Haunting Of Bly Manor”

We’ve been eagerly awaiting news for “The Haunting of Bly Manor“. Victoria Pedretti, who played Nell in season one, will return for the second season as the lead character, Dani. But she won’t be returning alone. Pedretti will be joined by “Hill House” alums Henry Thomas, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Elizabeth Reaser. Today, Mike Flanagan announced that Kate Siegel has signed on to return as well. The family is almost complete.
