First Images For "THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER" Spotlight Carla Gugino, Mark Hamill, Kate Siegel and More

 

A story we thought would never properly be adapted was for sure Edgar Allan Poe’s “THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER” but the folks over at Netflix heard our doubts and said “Hold our beer” and now we have a brand new series on the way with first images from the adaptation for ya below.

What’s interesting to note about “THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER” is that it will be director Mike Flanagan’s LAST series for Netflix. Flanagan was of course the mind behind “THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE” and “THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR” for Netflix which were both hits, respectively.

Entertainment Weekly shares new images today that have us pretty intrigued to see where the series will venture.

Additionally, the website lets us know that the official trailer arrives tomorrow, September 12. In the meantime, check out some images below and head over to EW to see more.

The images spotlight various different actors you’ll definitely recognize from Mike Flanagan projects past, and you can learn more about their characters over on EW as well.

The limited series from Intrepid Pictures is “based on multiple works from Poe,” and Netflix recently announced that “Usher” will premiere on October 12, 2023.

In this wicked 8-episode limited series based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.”

The ensemble cast will include Carla Gugino (Gerald’s Game, “The Haunting of Hill House”), Mary McDonnell (Scream 4), Carl Lumbly (Doctor Sleep), and Mark Hamill.

Bruce Greenwood (Gerald’s Game) is playing Roderick Usher.

Will the fifth project by Flanagan be his opus? We hope so.

Mike Flanagan and Michael Fimognari each directed four episodes of “Usher.”
