Kate Siegel on Looks, Sounds, and Drama of The Fall of the House of Usher

Kate Siegel catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about her role in the Mike Flanagan-created The Fall of the House of Usher, a Netflix miniseries that is loosely based on various works by Edgar Allan Poe and tells the downfall of a family, a corrupt pharmaceutical company, and a mysterious woman plaguing the characters as they disappear one by one. Alongside Siegel, the ensemble cast also features Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Mary McDonnell, Henry Thomas, Rahul Kohli, and Mark Hamill. The actress takes us through the “necessity of pain” that weaves throughout the story, basing her look off of Mirage from The Incredibles, and finding the mood of Camille through Doja Cat’s “Won’t Bite”. Siegel also recounts the team’s need to reshoot a big chunk of the show after Frank Langella was fired after a misconduct investigation and replaced with Greenwood as the patriarch, as well as what it was like to film her death scene, coming up with her own backstory, and becoming friends with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross through their work on the score.
