Netflix has unveiled our first look at Mike Flanagan's (Midnight Mass, Doctor Sleep, Gerald's Game) next horror series for the streamer, The Fall of the House of Usher.
The show won't actually serve as a direct adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's 1839 short story, as it will also take inspiration from several of the legendary writer's other works. Even so, the basic premise seems to be pretty much the same.
"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," reads the official synopsis.
Check out a poster and some first-look promo stills below.
Flanagan has assembled a typically stacked cast, including Bruce Greenwood, Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell, Carl Lumbly, Mark Hamill, Michael Trucco, T’Nia Miller, Paola Nuñez, Henry Thomas, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, Kate Siegel, Sauriyan Sapkota, Zach Gilford, Willa Fitzgerald, Katie Parker, Malcolm Goodwin, Crystal Balint, Aya Furukawa, Daniel Jun, Matt Biedel, Ruth Codd and Annabeth Gish. The Fall of the House of Usher is set to premiere on Netflix on October 12.
