Everything We Know About Mike Flanagan’s The Fall Of The House Of Usher

Mike Flanagan has yet another Netflix horror show coming out, so here’s everything we know about The Fall of the House of Usher. The critically acclaimed horror filmmaker is well known for adapting some of the greatest horror stories of the 20th century, pulling from authors like Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, and now classic writer Edgar Allen Poe. Although many have been hoping for Flanagan’s next installment in Netflix’s The Haunting series, the director’s next two projects, The Midnight Club and The Fall of the House of Usher, take viewers down a different horror avenue.

Flanagan’s most recent project for Netflix is Midnight Mass, the vampire-centered religious horror story that has garnered wide critical and audience acclaim. While the director is more notable for his loose adaptations of classic stories, Midnight Mass’ TV series was an original premise by Flanagan that had already been included as an Easter egg in his previous films. One of the best aspects of Midnight Mass was the ensemble cast, which was primarily made up of Flanagan’s previous collaborators from his films and Netflix Haunting TV shows.

Netflix confirmed that The Midnight Club will premiere in mid-to-late 2022, which will have high expectations after the success of Midnight Mass (no relation). The Fall of the House of Usher isn’t expected to connect to any of Flanagan’s previous series, but will continue his supernatural horror tradition.
