Crain family's story ended with Luke's sobriety for two years, but it seemed like everything was only a dream. A new theory revealed that Oliver Jackson-Cohen's character was still in the Red Room, and it might pave the way to "The Haunting of Hill House" Season 2.
Although Nell (Victoria Pedretti) already died, the youngest Crain made a way to united all her siblings in the Hill House. Here, they confronted their fears, forces, and ghosts inside the mysterious Red Room. Everyone had a dream that they needed to escape and overcome. In each dream, an image of something red always emerged. As Luke's cake in the season finale was red, did it mean that the story would continue in "The Haunting of Hill House" Season 2?
The season finale might mean much darker than everyone thought. When the Crain siblings escape the Hill House, the show featured a two-year time jump. They were celebrating the two-year anniversary of Luke being drug-free. But as his cake bore the color red, there were assumptions that he was still in his dream inside the Red Room. Would this be cleared in "The Haunting of Hill House" Season 2?
Given that the Red Room gave what people wanted to see, it was not far from happening that Luke's sobriety was not real, per Screen Rant. "Whenever each child, each sibling, is in the Red Room, something in the fantasy is red," Oliver Jackson-Cohen explained to The Wrap. So when Kate Siegel, who played the role of Theo, pointed it out to the 32-year-old actor, he was left with no words.
The Netflix series' cast revealed that the first season has a lot of Easter eggs that subtlety suggests that there would be "The Haunting of Hill House" Season 2. The show's writer and director Mike Flanagan told Entertainment Weekly that they have different directions to go to continue its story, from the house to a new plotline. He even considers turning it into an anthology.
They even feel like the Crain's story is demanding to have a "certain closure" to close the family's book. As the web series is about haunted places and haunted people, Mike Flanagan revealed that they would not experience a shortage of stories to tell. There are many things that they could still do either in or out of the Hill House if ever there would be "The Haunting of Hill House" Season 2.
