‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ Gets New Character Posters!! Check It Out!!

Ahead of this week’s premiere of The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix, the streamer has released ten new character posters featuring the main cast of the series. Mike Flanagan is coming back with a new mystery just in time for Halloween. The series will follow a powerful man who must find out why his family members are unexpectedly dying. In the new posters released to celebrate the arrival of the series, members of the Usher family can be seen in portraits, with menacing shadows and scratches haunting their images with a threatening aura. Not everyone will survive the events to come.

The premise of the upcoming Edgar Allan Poe adaptation follows Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), the CEO of an influential pharmaceutical company. Alongside his twin sister, Madeline (Mary McDonnell), he administrates what appears to be a successful business, but everything would change when a demon from his past returns to his life. Unexpectedly, the young members from his family begin to die one after the other, making Roderick enter a state of desperation where he doesn’t want anyone else to suffer a similar fate as time is running out for the protagonist of the series.

Flanagan has a long history of releasing his most terrifying ideas on Netflix, with The Haunting of Hill House becoming the first successful collaboration between the filmmaker and the studio. The success of that story prompted the streaming platform to develop another narrative with similar themes, with The Haunting of Bly Manor premiering a couple of years later. Flanagan‘s ability to portray vastly emotional stories through the genre of horror has allowed him to work on many different projects, with The Fall of the House of Usher being just another step in his legacy.

The Supporting Cast Behind the Mystery

Another trait that has defined Mike Flanagan‘s career has been using cast members from past projects on new projects. When The Fall of the House of Usher premieres on Netflix later this week, audiences will be able to see Carla Gugino playing the demon that haunts Roderick’s family. Another performer that has worked with the filmmaker in the past is Rahul Kohli, who will be stepping into the shoes of Napoleon Usher for the adaptation. Mark Hamill is set to appear as Arthur Pym in the story that is meant to deliver plenty of scares over the course of eight episodes.
