The horror series is based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and centres around an empire of wealth, privilege and power within the pharmaceutical sphere. It’s dark and gloomy and stars actors like Mark Hamill (of Star Wars fame, obviously), Bruce Greenwood, Carla Gugino, among the cast.
“Vancouver’s landscapes offered a captivating juxtaposition of the old and the new, the natural and the urban and a foggy scenery that mirrors the intricate story within The Fall of The House of Usher,” Netflix said.
Vancouver’s Cathedral of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary was maybe the easiest to spot.
