The Mike Flanagan universe is growing, and this time, his upcoming series The Fall of the House of Usher is taking on Edgar Allan Poe’s 1839 short story of the same name but bringing a fresh, freaky twist on it, as well as infusing it with references to many of Poe’s other classic tales, all while serving up a top-notch ensemble cast that will be thoroughly stalked and haunted.
Feast your eyes on a new clip above and learn more about the limited series below.
What is The Fall of the House of Usher about?
Without giving too much away — because trust us, you’ll want to be surprised — the horror drama follows Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), the CEO of a corrupt pharmaceutical company, who must face his shady past when each of his children begin to die in mysterious and brutal fashion.
“It’s batshit crazy in the best possible way,” Carla Gugino told Netflix during production. “It has quite a lot of very dark humor, but also really touches the soul.” In the series, Gugino portrays a shape-shifter named Verna, whose origins can be traced back to a — let’s just say — very famous Poe character. “There is a fantastical supernatural element to the story, and she is the manifestation of that,” she added. As these first look photos and posters reveal, Verna isn’t one to be played with. “You could say she’s the executor of fate or the executor of karma,” said Gugino.
