Many veteran actors from his previous projects will return House Usherincluding Carla Gugino, Kate Siegel, Rahul Kohli and Samantha Sloyan.
How The Haunting of Hill House And The Haunting of Bly Manor, House Usher is also based on several iconic pieces of literature. This time Flanagan takes on Edgar Allan Poe. And while the show is named after his 1839 short story, it’s not the only Poe short story or poem he used as inspiration.
