Based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Netflix's new series "The Fall of the House of Usher" premieres on Thursday.

Mike Flanagan (of "The Haunting of Bly Manor," "The Haunting of Hill House," and other horror series) created the show, which is set in present day and follows the uber-successful Usher family, who own the drug empire Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, as they grapple with the murders of their relatives. Siblings Roderick and Madeline are the patriarch and matriarch of the Ushers, while their many children have varying interests in the company.

Here's the cast of "The Fall of the House of Usher" and who they're playing.

Greenwoood has appeared in numerous other projects, including J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" film and Flanagan's 2017 adaptation of the Stephen King novel "Gerald's Game."
