A new clip from Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher introduces us to the wildly dysfunctional Usher family, who certainly give Succession's Roys a run for their money.
The show centers on Roderick and Madeline Usher (Bruce Greenwood and Mary McDonnell), who have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into a veritable empire of wealth. However, based on the clip, it appears as if someone close to the family has been spilling Usher secrets. That means one thing: It's time to sign some NDAs!
Among those signing are all six of Roderick's children: Frederick (Henry Thomas), first in line to the Fortunato "throne"; Tamerlane (Samantha Sloyan), an aspiring lifestyle guru; Victorine (T'Nia Miller), an ethically dubious medical researcher; Napoleon (Rahul Kohli), a drug-loving gamer; Camille (Kate Siegel), a media expert; and Prospero (Sauriyan Sapkota), a total party animal.
If anyone present is the informant, Madeline assures them they'll be neutralized. That doesn't mean sued or removed from the will, mind you. That means dead. What a wonderful way to spend a family dinner.
The Fall of the House of Usher premieres Oct. 12 on Netflix.
