The Fall of the House of Usher

Based On the book by Edgar Allan Poe

The Fall of the House of Usher is an American gothic horror drama television miniseries created by Mike Flanagan, and based on the short story of the same title and other works by the author Edgar Allan Poe. All eight episodes were released on Netflix on October 12, 2023, each directed by either Flanagan or Michael Fimognari, with the latter also acting as cinematographer for the entire series. Loosely based on various works by 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.
