The Fall of the House of Usher stars many familiar faces to those who have seen his previous works, such as The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, and more. A member of the Critics Choice Association and GALECA as well as a Top Critic on Rotten Tomatoes, Kristy's primary focus is movies. However, she's also been known to gush over television, podcasts, and board games. On top of supporting roles elsewhere in the Flanaverse, Biedel and his onscreen wife Sloyan also co-star in "Love You, Mama," a 2022 horror short Flanagan edited. In Flanagan's latest, Trucco plays a real rat bastard who is utterly loathed by the House of Usher. But in Hush, which was also his Flanaverse debut, the poor guy was just in the wrong place when a relentless slasher was on the loose.

Greenwood brings a boatload of gravitas and drama to the role, anchoring the entire series with his gravelly confessional monologues. Academy Award-nominated actress Mary McDonnell plays Roderick’s twin sister Madeline Usher. McDonnell received acclaim for her roles in Dances with Wolves and Passion Fish. On television, McDonnell has starred in Battlestar Galactica, The Closer, and The Closer spinoff series Major Crimes. Mike Flanagan (of "The Haunting of Bly Manor," "The Haunting of Hill House," and other horror series) created the show, which is set in present day and follows the uber-successful Usher family, who own the drug empire Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, as they grapple with the murders of their relatives. Siblings Roderick and Madeline are the patriarch and matriarch of the Ushers, while their many children have varying interests in the company.

He also starred in Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass and The Midnight Club. Since she knows Fortunato will never be hers, Tamerlane has set out on her own — as self-starting as a member of the uber-wealthy can be — in the health and wellness world. Her husband is a fitness influencer named Bill T. Wilson (Matt Biedel), or "BILLT" as he's known to his follows. Even though he's a dedicated, kind, and thoughtful spouse to Tamerlane who is always ready to do whatever will make her happy, Bill is someone Tamerlane chose strategically for herself — and the façade of their marriage is beginning to show cracks. EW can exclusively reveal the cast of characters in The Fall of the House of Usher, the horror miniseries inspired by Edgar Allan Poe.
T'Nia Miller as Victorine
Willa Fitzgerald is a young Madeline besides Zach Gilford’s younger Roderick in the show’s flashbacks, where she proves that she’s always been able to see the bigger picture. Gildford previously played a role in Criminal Minds, The Midnight Club, Midnight Mass, Good Girls, L.A.’s Finest, and more. Sauriyan Sapkota’s Prospero “Perry” Usher is the youngest of the family and new to the rich life. His goal is to use his family’s money to make life one big party, and he has very little interest in fulling the family business. Siegel starred as Maddie in Mike Flanagan’s Hush and can also be seen in The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Gerald’s Game. Lenore is the purest member of the Usher family, with Roderick even considering her to be the “best of.” She’s kind, empathic, and always looks to make conscientious choices instead of considering the family first.
Kyliegh Curran as Lenore
The actor has joined the upcoming series, from executive producer Carlton Cuse (Lost), as Dr. Ruben Soriano, a respected and sometimes feared senior surgeon, our sister site Deadline reports. Mike Flanagan’s gothic horror miniseries for Netflix is loosely based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, reimagining them to recount the deaths of the six scions of the fictional Usher family, the powerful and corrupt owners of a modern pharmaceutical company. Flanagan’s latest house of horrors is a work of fiction, one that’s deeply inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The stories all weave together to form the Usher family’s downfall, but some members of the show’s cast have individual chillers they’re partial to. Hamill's "The Fall of the House of Usher" character, Arthur Pym, is one of his most fun yet.
She’s also known for Watchmen, Gunpowder Milkshake, and American Gangster. He first joined the Mike Flanagan gang playing Owen Sharma in The Haunting of Bly Manor, but has appeared in all of Flanagan’s shows since, including Midnight Mass and The Midnight Club. He’s also appeared in movies like Next Exit and voices Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow in the Harley Quinn series on Max. Earlier this year, you might have spotted Longstreet as a cult leader in Prime Video's gigantically imaginative fantasy series I'm a Virgo. He played opposite Gish as Mr. Dudley in The Haunting of Hill House, then a drunk in Midnight Mass, and a janitor in The Midnight Club. In Doctor Sleep, he brought a growling menace to Barry the Chunk, a child-eating member of The True Knot.

Kohli initially caught the eye of horror fans as hot and harried medical examiner Ravi Chakrabarti on the comedic whodunnit series iZombie. He first teamed with Flanagan on The Haunting of Bly Manor, where he played the tantalizing cook Owen Sharma. Next, he took on the role of Sheriff Hassan in Midnight Mass, sparking more crushes as he fought for justice and the powers of light.

Sauriyan Sapkota is a rising star in Hollywood and likely to become a veteran of Mike Flanagan projects in due time. His first role was playing Amesh in The Midnight Club and now he’s starring as Roderick Usher’s youngest (illegitimate) heir, Prospero “Perry” Usher. As the youngest member of the family, Perry has a lot to prove to his siblings and father.
Kyleigh Curran - Lenore Usher
She’s made her life’s work not only about spinning bad behavior into good press, but also collecting files filled with every dirty secret of those closest to her. Kohli played Owen Sharma in “Bly Manor,” Sheriff Hassan in “Midnight Mass” and Vincent Beggs in “The Midnight Club.” He also co-starred on “iZombie” as Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti. Thomas, who’s been a regular in Flanagan projects, including “Hill House” and “Bly Manor,” plays the presumptive heir to the Usher empire. Frederick is married to Morrie (Crystal Balint), with whom he shares daughter Lenore (Kyliegh Curran).
Netflix has revealed the cast of its upcoming horror series The Fall of the House of Usher. Frederick is married to Morelle and they have a daughter together, Lenore. Frederick, often nicknamed “Froderick” by his siblings, is similar to Perry in that he’s desperate to prove himself to his father. Kyliegh Curran stars in The Fall of the House of Usher as Roderick Usher’s granddaughter and daughter of Frederick and Morelle Usher, Lenore Usher. She’s a teenager and often considered to be the “best” of the Ushers, at least according to Roderick. Lenore is basically the only one in the family to have a moral compass.
Trucco got a promotion in his next Flanagan role, going from slain boyfriend to mayor of a town beset by vampires in Midnight Mass. Napoleon Usher (Rahul Kohli) is a video game patron and a socialite playboy with a pretty intense drug habit. For him, it's about numbing the pain of his reality, but the behavior is starting to become a problem for his boyfriend, Julius. Frederick Usher (Henry Thomas) is the eldest child of Roderick Usher and the natural heir to his father's company, but he's also the least equipped to run the business out of all his siblings. Often picked on by his brothers and sisters, the neurotic Freddie also comes with a fiery jealousy and compounding insecurity, which force him down a path that even those closest to him are shocked to see.
The Netflix series is based on the work of Edgar Allan Poe, but in this case the House of Usher is a family whose legacy stems from the family company, Fortunado Industries. Flanagan, whose work for Netflix includes The Midnight Club, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass, is also known for movies like Doctor Sleep and Gerald's Game. Bruce Greenwood and Carla Gugino starred together in the 2017 film Gerald's Game, the very first project filmmaker Mike Flanagan and his producing partner Trevor Macy delivered when they struck a deal with Netflix. Six years later, the acting pair reunite on screen in what will be the last work from this deal, a miniseries inspired by the collected works of Edgar Allan Poe, but with particular emphasis on the poet's 1839 short story The Fall of the House of Usher. Napoleon “Leo” Usher is a video game patron and the closest to a socialite the Usher siblings get. A “playboy” with a drug for every occasion, Leo welcomes the ability to numb the pain of his reality, but his drug use has started to become a problem for his boyfriend, Julius.
This modern take on the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name transports fans into the world of the Usher family, led by sibling duo Roderick and Madeline. Together, the twins have headed Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, establishing an empire of wealth, privilege and power — but at a cost. The family’s dark, shady past seemingly comes to light as heirs from the dynasty begin dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from Madeline and Roderick’s youth. Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood and Rahul Kohli join newcomers (to the Flanaverse) Mary McDonnell and Willa Fitzgerald. Mark Hamill plays the intensely loyal Usher family attorney Arthur Pym, often nicknamed the “Pym Reaper” by members of the family and outsiders alike. Hamill is famous for portraying Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars film and television franchise.
Ruth Codd happens to be one of those actresses who was discovered somewhat randomly after The Midnight Club casting team found her on TikTok. She played Anya in that series and plays Roderick’s young second wife Juno in The Fall of the House of Usher. She’ll also be in an episode of Creepshow season 4, coming to Shudder this month. Carla Gugino, of course, is no stranger to the world of horror, or more specifically, Mike Flanagan’s brand of horror. She starred in Gerald’s Game, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and even appeared in an episode of Midnight Mass.
