Netflix has really been cranking up the horror quotient lately. It's home to enough horror and thriller movies [1] to get you through plenty of Halloweens, and it's the streaming home of American Horror Story [2]'s past seasons [3]. Now, Netflix is moving further into original horror programming with The Haunting of Hill House [4], a story that leans more into psychological terror than traditional horror. Set in a creepy mansion as an investigator tries to prove or disprove the existence of the supernatural, it follows a group of characters with increasing paranormal experiences. After catching a glimpse of the official photos [5], we're all in on the series. The only big question we have is: will there be season two?

At the moment, there hasn't been an official announcement either way. On the one hand, Hill House might make sense as a single season event, rather than an ongoing series, and that's for one big reason: its source material. It's not a wholly original series, but an adaptation of a 1959 gothic novel [6] by Shirley Jackson. The novel doesn't have a sequel, which wouldn't necessarily prevent a second season (please see: 13 Reasons Why, Big Little Lies, and others [7]), but might make it a little more difficult.

That being said, Netflix has had a pretty strong track record lately of renewing its original shows, so Hill House stands a good chance of getting a second season, if the pattern holds. Nothing will be confirmed until reviews and numbers for the first season come in after its Oct. 12 debut [8], but we can definitely hope for the best!
