Summary
Mike Flanagan's "The Fall of the House of Usher" features several familiar faces from his previous horror shows, indicating his tendency to work with the same actors.
Flanagan's new series, "The Fall of the House of Usher," may still have some surprises in store for audiences. Despite the absence of certain notable names from Flanagan's past projects, fans are eagerly awaiting the possibility of recurring roles or cameos from familiar faces such as Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Elizabeth Reaser, and others who have left a lasting impression in his previous Netflix horror ventures.
Mike Flanagan's latest horror television project, The Fall of the House of Usher, showcases a cast of familiar faces. While some notable names from Flanagan's previous shows are missing from the released cast list, it's possible they may surprise audiences with recurring roles or cameos throughout the eight-episode series. Only time will reveal their involvement in the show.
Similar to Christopher Nolan, Flanagan is known for working with a consistent group of actors across his projects. The upcoming series, like Flanagan's Netflix horror shows—The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and Midnight Club—features a lineup of recurring actors. Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Zach Gilford, Samantha Sloyan, T'Nia Miller, Rahul Kohli, Kate Siegel, Michael Trucco, Henry Thomas, Annabeth Gish, Ruth Codd, and Lulu Wilson are among those set to appear in The Fall of the House of Usher. However, audiences eagerly await the possible inclusion of ten other actors when the series premieres on October 12, 2023.
10 Victoria Pedretti
9 Oliver Jackson-Cohen
Victoria Pedretti, known for her notable roles in Mike Flanagan's Netflix horror projects The Haunting of Hill House as Nell Crain and The Haunting of Bly Manor as Dani Clayton, is currently not confirmed to appear in The Fall of the House of Usher. However, considering her impactful performances in the previous series, it would be captivating to witness her reunion with Flanagan in the realms of horror and thriller, where she truly thrives.
Oliver Jackson-Cohen, much like his co-star Victoria Pedretti, has been a significant presence in both The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. In Hill House, he portrayed the role of Luke Crain, the twin of Pedretti's character, while in Bly Manor, he took on the character of Peter Quint. Given his past involvement in Mike Flanagan's television series, it seems fitting for Jackson-Cohen to make an appearance in Flanagan's new project, The Fall of the House of Usher. Perhaps he and Pedretti can bring their twin dynamic to life once again, this time as eerie specters haunting the story.
8 Elizabeth Reaser
Elizabeth Reaser, known for her role as the adult Shirley Crain in Mike Flanagan's Netflix horror series, The Haunting of Hill House, has yet to join forces with the filmmaker again. However, the upcoming 2023 series, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's eponymous short story, presents an exciting opportunity for Reaser to make a return to this world, even if it is just in a cameo role.
7 Hamish Linklater
In Midnight Mass, Hamish Linklater portrayed Father Paul Hill in the Netflix horror universe created by Mike Flanagan. While this remains his only credit in Flanagan's universe, Linklater played a significant role as one of the main characters in the television series. Considering this, it wouldn't be surprising if Flanagan plans to collaborate with Linklater again for future projects, such as The Fall of the House of Usher. However, since the actor's name is not included in the cast list for the upcoming show, it suggests that Flanagan might be reserving Linklater's talents for a forthcoming production.
6 Amelia Eve
The dynamic between Jamie Taylor (played by Amelia Eve) and Dani (portrayed by Victoria Pedretti) in The Haunting of Bly Manor captured the hearts of fans and became a standout aspect of the limited series. Given this, it would be a wise move for Mike Flanagan to consider reuniting these talented actresses in a future project, even if their roles are small in The Fall of the House of Usher.
5 Michiel Huisman
Another actor, Michiel Huisman, had a notable role in one of Mike Flanagan's Netflix horror series, "The Haunting of Hill House". It's about time for Huisman to make a return in one of Flanagan's television shows. In "The Haunting of Hill House", Huisman portrayed the adult version of Steven, the eldest Crain sibling, and played an important part in the series. It would be a fantastic homage to Flanagan's initial Netflix show if Huisman were to make a guest appearance in "The Fall of the House of Usher", even if it's only for an episode or two.
4 Timothy Hutton
Mike Flanagan may reunite the majority of The Haunting of Hill House cast for his new series, potentially including Timothy Hutton. Hutton, who played the older version of Hugh Crain in Flanagan's first Netflix show, was a regular on the series. While not part of the main cast for the upcoming 2023 series, there is still a possibility for Hutton to make an appearance, leaving fans eager to find out if any other characters from The Haunting of Hill House will also return.
3 Mckenna Grace
Mckenna Grace, who portrayed the younger version of Theo Crain in The Haunting of Hill House, has yet to collaborate with Mike Flanagan again. However, her involvement in various horror television shows and movies, such as The Bad Seed and Annabelle Comes Home, raises the possibility of her easily joining one of Flanagan's projects. While currently not part of The Fall of the House of Usher, there remains a chance for Grace to make a cameo appearance.
2 Tahirah Sharif
1 Iman Benson
Tahirah Sharif's portrayal of Rebecca Jessel in The Haunting of Bly Manor was truly captivating, making her one of the most underrated aspects of the entire limited series. Despite not having been involved in any other projects with director Mike Flanagan since then, it would be a tremendous loss not to utilize Sharif's immense talent further. Her exceptional performance in this television show makes it imperative for Flanagan to consider bringing her back for another series, such as The Fall of the House of Usher.
Iman Benson gave a striking performance as Ilonka in Mike Flanagan's latest Netflix horror series, The Midnight Club. Her talent and charisma were evident, making it a logical choice to have her return for future projects. Considering the captivating role she played in the esteemed cast of The Midnight Club, it is hopeful that she will grace the screen once again in The Fall of the House of Usher, set to premiere in October 2023.
