Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Mike Flanagan has received an abundance of praise for his horrifying Netflix series, and although he won't be making a third season of his Haunting anthology at this point, his next series, The Fall of the House of Usher, is certainly a strong replacement.
The Haunting series captured audiences' attention via their disturbing content and creepy, haunted house atmospheres. The Haunting of Hill House is based on the Shirley Jackson novel of the same name, while The Haunting of Bly Manor is based on Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw." There is certainly a demand for a third season, however, Flanagan doesn't plan on making it.
The Fall Of The House Of Usher Is The Closest We'll Get To The Haunting Season 3 Although Haunting season 3 is not in the cards, fans aren't at a total loss, as Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher is a strong alternative. The new series, based on the story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe, follows siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher, heads of a lucrative pharmacuetical company, that must face their dark pasts when their heirs begin dying.
First and foremost, like the Haunting series, The Fall of the House of Usher is a book-to-tv adaptation. Mike Flanagan clearly has a talent for taking macabre texts and translating them to the screen, and bringing old stories into modern perspectives, so it seems likely that this new series will be great. Additionally, The Fall of the House of Usher has very similar themes to the Haunting series. For example, all three series involve families in a haunted house setting.
Mike Flanagan Returning To A Haunted House & Family Is His Perfect Netflix Series Bookend The Fall of the House of Usher being Mike Flanagan's final project at Netflix is actually pretty perfect. Though a final season of the Haunting anthology would have been great, this new direction works just as well. Namely, The Fall of the House of Usher is something new for Flanagan, but also, doesn't stray too far from what he's good at: families in haunted houses.
