Like the 1999 film, Netflix's Haunting of Hill House boasts a cast of recognizable faces. First cast was Michiel Huisman, best known for playing Daario Naharis on Game of Thrones. Next added was Carla Gugino, who worked with Flanagan on the aforementioned Gerald's Game adaptation, which drew positive reviews. In fact, Flanagan cast several repeat actors from his filmography, including Henry Thomas (Gerald's Game), Kate Siegel (Hush), Elizabeth Reaser (Ouija: Origin of Evil), and Lulu Wilson (also Origin of Evil). Also onboard is Hollywood veteran Timothy Hutton, and X-Files alum Annabeth Gish. Details on exactly who's who within the story have yet to be revealed.

The Haunting of Hill House will consist of 10 episodes, and looks designed to be a one-off limited series. That said, should it prove popular, one assumes Netflix will gladly opt to bring it back for additional seasons, or at least have Flanagan return to produce another horror show. With Stranger Things season 3 not coming until next summer, Hill House could find itself as Netflix's go-to Halloween entertainment for 2018.

The Haunting of Hill House premieres October 12 on Netflix.
