The crew behind The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor produced the Netflix spooky movie The Fall Of The House of Usher, which also stars Mark Hamill (Star Wars) in the eerie story.

The eight-part series produced by Mike Flanagan is based on the Gothic horror story The Fall Of The House of Usher by American author Edgar Allan Poe(opens in new tab) and features themes of lunacy, family, isolation, and tragedy, as well as a highly frightening family mansion that is claimed to be alive!

Here is all we currently know about the forthcoming supernatural horror series The Fall Of The House Of Usher, which also stars Supergirl and Cagney and Lacey actor Carl Lumbly, Battlestar Galactica’s Mary McDonnell, and The Resident’s Bruce Greenwood.

The Release date of The Fall of the House of Usher

Currently, production on The Fall of the House of Usher is underway. Frank Langella was terminated after an investigation discovered that he engaged in wrongdoing on set. The actors and crew were permitted to continue shooting scenes without Roderick Usher, played by Frank Langella until the part was recast. As far as we are aware, everything is on schedule, and we anticipate its release sometime in 2022, possibly in time for Halloween.

The Storyline of The Fall Of The House Of Usher

The Fall of the House of Usher was originally published in 1839 as a spooky short story by Edgar Allan Poe. Roderick Usher and his twin sister Madeline reside in a mansion that, according to Roderick, is alive and exerts some measure of influence over its residents.

Madeline has bizarre, death-like trances, while Roderick’s mental instability and hysteria are worsening. The story depicts a family’s descent into madness and seclusion, whereas the new Netflix series is touted as a modern retelling that draws from other Poe tales to tell an epic tale of greed, terror, and tragedy.

Filming was slated to begin on January 24, 2022, in Vancouver, Canada, and would last for four months, according to Production Weekly’s listing from December 2021.
