Netflix has released first-look images and poster for Mike Flanagan’s upcoming horror drama series ‘The Fall of the House of Usher.’

“It’s batshit crazy in the best possible way,” actress Carla Gugino told Netflix. “It has quite a lot of very dark humor, but also really touches the soul.” In the series, Gugino portrays a demonic shape-shifter named Verna, whose origins can be traced back to a — let’s just say — very famous Poe character. “There is a fantastical supernatural element to the story, and she is the manifestation of that,” she added. As these first look photos and poster reveal, Verna isn’t one to be played with. “You could say she’s the executor of fate or the executor of karma,” said Gugino.

Official Synopsis:

“In this wicked 8-episode limited series based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.”

The series stars Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell, Carl Lumbly, Mark Hamill, and Bruce Greenwood. Other members of the cast include Michael Trucco, T’Nia Miller, Paola Nuñez, Henry Thomas, Kyleigh Curran, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, Kate Siegel, Sauriyan Sapkota, Zach Gilford, Willa Fitzgerald, Katie Parker, Malcolm Goodwin, Crystal Balint, Aya Furukawa, Daniel Jun, Matt Biedel, Ruth Codd, Annabeth Gish, Igby Rigney and Robert Longstreet.
