Is Mike Flanagan’s Haunting series om Netflix?
It sounds like there won’t be another installment of the anthology series. In a recent interview with TVLine, Flanagan said he’s not completely shutting the door on a potential third season. However, there aren’t any current plans in the works.
Here’s what he told TVLine:
What makes the Haunting the Haunting, and if and how we could re-approach it, is something we talk about frequently because we’ve always left that door open. [But] we don’t want to do it to do it.
