Yes, it's another house in the Flanaganverse, but it's not part of the Haunting series as one might expect.
The Big Picture Mike Flanagan’s tradition of releasing Netflix horror series just in time for Halloween continues in 2023 with The Fall of the House of Usher. Except for 2019, every year since The Haunting of Hill House, we are blessed with a spooky TV show where Flanagan is creator, writer, and director. The Fall of the House of Usher is based on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story of the same name, also incorporating elements from some of his other most famous tales.
What Does 'The Fall of the House of Usher' Have in Common With the Haunting Series? Well, firstly, the series is about a house — and not just any house. In the short story on which Flanagan's Fall of the House of Usher is based, the house is also a character with a journey, very much like Hill House and Bly Manor. Like the two Haunting seasons that precede it, The Fall of the House of Usher is also based on a work of literature.
Flanagan’s use of actors from previous projects is also present in The Fall of the House of Usher, with it probably being the project with most returning actors. Kate Siegel, who stars as Camille L’Espanaye, started working with Flanagan in Oculus. After getting married, they worked together in Hush, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Flanagan’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Gerald’s Game, the Haunting series, and Midnight Mass.
Flanagan himself makes it very clear, stating that while Hill House and Bly Manor are houses with ghosts, the House of Usher doesn’t have these apparitions, thus not being a haunting. The Fall of the House of Usher will rely on craziness, over-the-top tropes, and the macabre, setting it apart from Hill House and Bly Manor. He compares The Haunting series to a “sad, sweeping violin ballad,” with The Fall of the House of Usher being more “like rock and roll.
Flanagan is a craftsman. Every film, TV show, and/or franchise he gives life to is carefully crafted and developed with its own personality. He could be churning season after season of the Haunting series with the risk of diluting the concept and tiring the audience but, fortunately, he isn’t. For the time being, there are no plans of releasing a third Haunting season, but Flanagan’s happy that people are enthusiastically wanting for more.
