The supernatural limited series, to bow Oct. 12 on the streaming giant, sees ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher building Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power, only to have past secrets surface when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying off at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.

Bruce Greenwood, who plays the role of Roderick Usher, patriarch of the Usher dynasty, toplines the miniseries along with Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell and Carl Lumbly. Fall of the House of Usher comes from writer-director Flanagan, who earlier scared viewers with The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass, about an isolated island community that experiences supernatural events after the arrival of a mysterious priest.

Flanagan is also behind Midnight Club, based on the young adult book by Christopher Pike, about a group of terminally ill teens who make a secret pact.
