Edgar Allan Poe‘s classic tales come to Netflix in “The Fall of the House of Usher,” the latest project for the streamer from Mike Flanagan (“Hill House,” “Bly Manor,” “Midnight Mass”).

Star Kate Siegel, who was just seen last year in Flanagan’s “Midnight Mass,” has revealed on Twitter this week that production on the series is underway, so we expect more soon.

“Every new journey begins with a single step,” Siegel tweets…

UPDATE 1/31: We jumped the gun the other day, but production is now underway!

The limited series from Intrepid Pictures is “based on multiple works from Poe.” 8 episodes have been ordered. Flanagan and Michael Fimognari will each direct four episodes.

The ensemble cast will include Dracula, Masters of the Universe and The Box‘s Frank Langella, as well as Carla Gugino (Gerald’s Game, “The Haunting of Hill House”), Mary McDonnell (Scream 4), Carl Lumbly (Doctor Sleep), and Mark Hamill.
