The Fall of the House of Usher is an American gothic horror drama television miniseries created by Mike Flanagan.
Loosely based on various works by Edgar Allan Poe (most prominently the eponymous 1839 short story), the series adapts otherwise unrelated stories and characters by Poe into a single nonlinear narrative set from 1953 to 2023. It recounts both the rise to power of Roderick Usher, the powerful CEO of a corrupt pharmaceutical company, and his sister Madeline, the firm’s genius COO, and the events leading to the deaths of all six of Roderick’s children. It stars an ensemble cast led by Carla Gugino as the mysterious “Verna” who plagues the Ushers, and Bruce Greenwood and Mary McDonnell as an elderly Roderick and Madeline.
