His performance in 1975 was notable because, for the first time since their breakup in 1970, Simon played live with Art Garfunkel. Another of the most infamous moments came when Elvis Costello and the Attractions played SNL in 1977. Parker is a regular on Mike Flanagan's shows and movies, having recently appeared in three of his Netflix offerings as well as his films Doctor Sleep, Oculus, and Absentia. Other credits include Masters of Sex, Halt and Catch Fire, Rizzoli and Isles, Alt, and The Resident. In addition to the main storyline of the unfortunate events that befall the Usher family, TFHU also follows a younger Roderick as he ascends the ranks of Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, from the mail room to the top of the pyramid. At the time, he lives with his first wife Annabel Lee and their two children.

Longstreet portrayed Mr. Dudley in The Haunting of Hill House and Joe Collie in Midnight Mass. Toby, played by Igby Rigney, is one of Camille L’Espanaye’s two assistants.

The actor, whose TV series include “Breakout Kings,” “iZombie” and “Reacher,” plays the younger, more idealistic Dupin, who later vows to take down the Ushers. The real Rufus Wilmot Griswold was Poe’s literary rival and romantic rival as both writers were enamored of poet Frances Sargent Osgood. 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).

Zach Gilford - Young Roderick

Crystal Balint’s previous work includes Midnight Mass, Supergirl, The Midnight Club, Fire Country, and more. Morelle Usher is a former model and actor who is now the devoted wife of Frederick and mother to Lenore. 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. Sauriyan Sapkota’s Prospero “Perry” Usher is the youngest of the family and new to the rich life.

Mary McDonnell’s Madeline Usher is the incredibly intelligent and calculating brains behind Fortunato. She’s always pushing her brother, Roderick, whenever needed—though she’s not afraid to step over him if necessary. Verna is the shape-shifting demon after the Usher family throughout the series. Roderick’s second wife, Juno, is a former junkie whose recent marriage to Roderick has left his family bewildered.

She can also be seen in Mayfair Witches, Midnight Mass, #Freerayshawn, Barry, and more. Goodwin starred in CW’s iZombie and was also part of projects like Reacher and Breakout Kings. Malcolm Goodwin brings a younger version of Auguste to life, who was an investigator, proving that the character has long been looking to do the right thing and find justice.

The mother of Frederick and Tamerlane, Annabel Lee was Roderick’s only real love. Her warmth and trusting nature always helped her to find the best in Roderick… and her trust in her husband might have left her blind to the dangers encroaching her family. Before he became the CEO of Fortunato, Gilford’s “Roddy” was a father and husband who recited poetry to his Annabel Lee. A dedicated, kind, and thoughtful husband to Tamerlane, Bill (or BillT as his fitness followers call him) is more than happy to team up with his wife on their newest wellness venture.

He also happens to have a drug problem, something that becomes problematic for those around him. And I think she aspires so much to please her father and to make him proud. And that has distorted her ambition in a way that has caused her to lock out all other things from life. [There’s] a single-mindedness to her, and she’s put so much pressure on herself and so much importance on her success that her anxiety level has just gone through the roof." Frederick Usher is the eldest of the Usher family and the natural heir to his father’s company.

If you need an excuse to revisit this twisted sequel, consider Curran's poignant performance at its center as reason enough. 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.

Within this growing web of scary stories, Flanagan has not only dropped in Easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans but has also employed a riveting ensemble of recurring players. If you recognize one of the characters in The Fall of the House of Usher's scream face, from the Usher kids to the broader Usher family tree you've probably seen it elsewhere in the Flanagan media universe, also known as the Flanaverse. Frederick, often nicknamed “Froderick” by his siblings, is similar to Perry in that he’s desperate to prove himself to his father. T’Nia Miller is Netflix regular at this point between recurring in Sex Education and The Diplomat, in addition to her acclaimed turn in Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Bly Manor. In The Fall of the House of Usher, she plays one of Roderick’s many illegitimate children, Victorine LaFourcade. Victorine and her girlfriend/business partner Dr. Alessandra “Ali” Ruiz are developing a high-tech “heart mesh” device and eager to push it forward to human trials.

An ambitious and driven man, Roderick expects the most out of his six children, giving them access to every resource imaginable — except his fatherly affection. Before CinemaBlend, he was the managing editor for Suggest.com and Gossipcop.com, covering celebrity news and debunking false gossip. He has been in the publishing industry for almost two decades, covering pop culture – movies and TV shows, especially – with a keen interest and love for Gen X culture, the older influences on it, and what it has since inspired. He graduated from Boston University with a degree in Political Science but cured himself of the desire to be a politician almost immediately after graduation.

The daughter of Frederick and Morella, Lenore is a kind and empathic young woman whose tendencies always lean toward making the conscientious choice, rather than the one that’s best for the family.

On television, McDonnell has starred in Battlestar Galactica, The Closer, and The Closer spinoff series Major Crimes. Victorine Lafourcade is the oldest of the Usher “bastards” who has made her purpose in life to help people—though, it’s all in a bid to gain her father’s approval. While he may have positive aspirations, her actions aren’t always on the proper side of things, as seen when he bends the rules of clinical trials so that her new revolutionary heart technology can start testing on human subjects.

That's probably another reason all his children are vying for that affection. The daughter of Frederick and Morella, she's a kind and empathic young woman who tends to make the conscientious choice, rather than the one that is best for the family. Frederick describes Perry (Sauriyan Sapkota), the youngest of the Usher children, as "Gucci Caligula." What a nickname! Rather than inventing new medical tools or running the family empire, he wants to make life one big party — and the hope is he'll use Usher money to do that.

She has the "perfect" marriage with her fitness influencer husband Bill T, but their polished life (and her constantly anxious mind) is beginning to crumble. In Midnight Mass and The Midnight Club, he played a teen boy surrounded by death. In The Fall of the House of Usher, as one of Camille's full-service assistants, he's a young man who is not under fatal threat. Instead, Toby is just trapped in a toxic throuple relationship with his boss, who degrades him for kicks.

Goodwin is also one of the main cast members in the Prime Video series Reacher. Hamill's character is the family's fixer, who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Miller's character is described by Netflix as being desperate for her father's affection, so much so that she even compromises her ethics while testing a new heart device. The first two episodes of The Fall of the House of Usher premiered at Fantastic Fest in September 2023 before the Netflix release the following month, being viewed more than 13 million times in its first two weeks. It was met with positive reviews, with critics praising its production values, directing, and performances (in particular from Gugino, Greenwood and Mark Hamill), although they were divided on its narrative, notably in relation to the source materials.
