Fall of the House of Usher sets release window

On Wednesday, Netflix announced that Mike Flanagan’s highly anticipated horror series The Fall of the House of Usher is all set to premiere on the streamer in Fall 2023. 

The logline for The Fall of the House of Usher states that the series will follow "an unnamed narrator approaches the house of Usher on a 'dull, dark, and soundless day.' This house, the estate of his boyhood friend, Roderick Usher, is gloomy and mysterious." The series is based on acclaimed horror author Edgar Allen Poe's short story of the same name.

Headlined by Bruce Greenwood, The Fall of the House of Usher will also star Carla Gugino, Kate Siegel, Henry Thomas, Annabeth Gish, and Rahul Kohli, all of Flanagan's frequent collaborators. Mary McDonnell and Mark Hamill will also make an appearance in the upcoming series. 

Flanagan has also directed and executive produced The Fall of the House of Usher along with Trevor Macy, Emmy Grinwis and Michael Fimognari. Flanagan and Fimognari have each directed four episodes in the series.

The Fall of the House of Usher marks the fifth series for Flanagan's Intrepid Pictures following The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass and the most recent series The Midnight Club.

The limited series, however, is unrelated to Flanagan’s previous work and will have a standalone story.
