The show’s title, Twilight of the Gods, also teases the story and suggests that it might be connected to the Ragnarok, the end of all things in Norse mythology. While Snyder is quite controversial, he can create fairly expansive fictional universes. So, whatever he’s cooking with Norse mythology will be at least entertaining. Netflix and Stone Quarry are developing Twilight of the Gods under absolute secrecy. So far, we don’t know much about the show’s plot besides that it’s a new twist on Norse mythology.
Carl Lumbly as C. Auguste Dupin
Miller is often found in genre fare and outside of Netflix has also starred in Apple TV+ series Foundation and Prime Video’s Peripheral (RIP still not over that one getting reverse-canceled). T’Nia Miller is Netflix regular at this point between recurring in Sex Education and The Diplomat, in addition to her acclaimed turn in Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Bly Manor. In The Fall of the House of Usher, she plays one of Roderick’s many illegitimate children, Victorine LaFourcade. Victorine and her girlfriend/business partner Dr. Alessandra “Ali” Ruiz are developing a high-tech “heart mesh” device and eager to push it forward to human trials. Samantha Sloyan plays Roderick Usher’s eldest daughter Tamerlane Usher. Tamerlane and her husband Bill are dedicated to launching a goop-like lifestyle brand called Goldbug.
Mark Hamill as Arthur Pym
Hamill's character is the family's fixer, who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Sloyan has appeared on shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Parks and Recreation," and starred in Flanagan's "Midnight Mass" and "The Midnight Club." Sapkota previously starred as Amesh on Flanagan's "The Midnight Club." Kohli has previously appeared in several other of Flanagan's projects, including "The Haunting of Bly Manor" and "Midnight Mass." One of the older Usher heirs, Leo has a crippling drug addiction that's only getting worse. Miller's character is described by Netflix as being desperate for her father's affection, so much so that she even compromises her ethics while testing a new heart device.
Malcolm Goodwin - Young Auguste
As expected, wildly recognizable characters such as Thor, Loki, and Odin will be part of the animated series. The 21 actors join a cast that already features some huge names, including Frank Langella, Mark Hamill, Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell, and Carl Lumbly. Siegel also had a smaller role in The Haunting of Bly Manor and even a small cameo in The Midnight Club.

This modern take on the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name transports fans into the world of the Usher family, led by sibling duo Roderick and Madeline. Together, the twins have headed Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, establishing an empire of wealth, privilege and power — but at a cost. The family’s dark, shady past seemingly comes to light as heirs from the dynasty begin dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from Madeline and Roderick’s youth. Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood and Rahul Kohli join newcomers (to the Flanaverse) Mary McDonnell and Willa Fitzgerald. This time, Flanagan’s ghoulish crew is entering familial territory, as ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege, and power.
T’Nia Miller - Victorine Lafourcade
All eight episodes were released on Netflix on October 12, 2023, each directed by either Flanagan or Michael Fimognari, with the latter also acting as cinematographer for the entire series. The film will be produced by former CAA Agent Lauren Hale-Rieckhoff, in association with Vinyl Foote Productions. Avy Kaufman cast the leads and supporting players are expected to be announced shortly. Renowned genre filmmaker Mike Flanagan (The Life of Chuck) is in talks to direct the next Exorcist film for Blumhouse and Universal Pictures, sources have confirmed to Deadline. Sylvia Hoeks, from Blade Runner 2049 and Apple’s See, will voice Sigrid. Jamie Clayton, who shines in Netflix’s Sense 8 and the Hellraiser reboot, voices The Seid-Kona in the series.
Siblings Roderick and Madeline are the patriarch and matriarch of the Ushers, while their many children have varying interests in the company. As Flanagan’s IMDB page grows, so does the Flanaverse, and the new Netflix’s series “Usher” is assembling what could be the biggest cast of Flanagan favorites of all time. In November 2023, Roderick Usher, the CEO of pharmaceutical company Fortunato Pharmaceuticals, loses all six of his children within two weeks. Auguste Dupin, an Assistant United States Attorney who dedicated his career to exposing Fortunato's corruption, to his childhood home, where he tells the true story of his family and unveils the Ushers' darkest secrets. Ruth Codd happens to be one of those actresses who was discovered somewhat randomly after The Midnight Club casting team found her on TikTok.

Frank Langella will star as the Usher patriarch, Roderick, with Mary McDonnell as his sister, Madeline. Hamill and Gugino’s roles have yet to be revealed, but Lumbly will play the legendary Poe investigator, C. Napoleon “Leo” Usher is a video game patron and the closest to a socialite the Usher siblings get.
A “playboy” with a drug for every occasion, Leo welcomes the ability to numb the pain of his reality, but his drug use has started to become a problem for his boyfriend, Julius. The eldest of the Usher “bastards,” Victorine has made helping people her life’s work, but like her siblings, the true source of her ambition is her desire for her father’s approval and affection. After Roderick shows interest in Victorine’s revolutionary new heart technology — still in its testing phase — Victorine bends the rules of clinical trials to start testing on human subjects.
With only love for Tammy, Bill is always willing to do what will make her happy, even if it goes against his own desires. Roderick’s second wife, Juno, is a former junkie whose recent marriage to Roderick has left his family bewildered. The daughter of Frederick and Morella, Lenore is a kind and empathic young woman whose tendencies always lean toward making the conscientious choice, rather than the one that’s best for the family. Toby, played by Igby Rigney, is one of Camille L’Espanaye’s two assistants. Annabeth Gish was also married to another of Robert Longstreet’s characters, Mr. Dudley, as Mrs. Dudley in The Haunting of Hill House.
Willa Fitzgerald is a young Madeline besides Zach Gilford’s younger Roderick in the show’s flashbacks, where she proves that she’s always been able to see the bigger picture. Gildford previously played a role in Criminal Minds, The Midnight Club, Midnight Mass, Good Girls, L.A.’s Finest, and more. Sauriyan Sapkota’s Prospero “Perry” Usher is the youngest of the family and new to the rich life.
According to a recent report from Deadline, 21 new cast members have been added to the show. A ton of cast members have been announced for Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor) and Netflix’s upcoming limited horror drama The Fall of the House of the Usher. Kyliegh Curran stars in The Fall of the House of Usher as Roderick Usher’s granddaughter and daughter of Frederick and Morelle Usher, Lenore Usher. She’s a teenager and often considered to be the “best” of the Ushers, at least according to Roderick. Lenore is basically the only one in the family to have a moral compass.
Malcolm Goodwin, another iZombie vet, portrays the younger version of Auguste. Goodwin is also one of the main cast members in the Prime Video series Reacher. Carl Lumbly is a very well-respected acting veteran with over 150 credits to his name. In The Fall of the House of Usher, he plays the assistant US attorney C. Auguste has been working for years to bring down Fortunato, even before Roderick Usher took over.
Lenore is the purest member of the Usher family, with Roderick even considering her to be the “best of.” She’s kind, empathic, and always looks to make conscientious choices instead of considering the family first. The actor appears in projects such as Average Joe, Fire Country, The Rookie, Midnight Mass, and more. Mark Hamill’s Arthur Pym is the Usher family lawyer who is incredibly talented at what he does and is always willing to do what is asked of him. As much as he’s there for the Ushers, his more personal qualities remain a mystery to even his closest friends. Mary McDonnell’s Madeline Usher is the incredibly intelligent and calculating brains behind Fortunato. She’s always pushing her brother, Roderick, whenever needed—though she’s not afraid to step over him if necessary.
