Daily Dead: Mike Flanagan On The Importance Of Bringing In New Directors For 'Bly Manor'

“The filmmakers that we chose for this season are filmmakers who've made movies we love and that's kind of where it started. It was really easy. I watch a lot of movies and when I saw 'A Dark Song', I just freaked out and knew we had to find a way to work with Liam. We had to find a way to support him. This was an opportunity to do that. Same when we saw 'Cargo', and both Ben and Yolanda's work was so wonderful. Trevor had just produced a film with Ciarán, while we were working on season one, so he was another artist that we were very keen to try to support. Axelle and E.L., too.”
