Today, Mike Flanagan announced that Kate Siegel has signed on to return as well. The family is almost complete. The second season of Netflix’s hit anthology series was inspired by Henry James’ novella The Turn of the Screw which Mike Flanagan intends to put a new spin on. He also promises that this season is going to be even “scarier” than the first.

It’s a cool way to expand on some of the things I loved about season one, but within the framework
