His adapta🦩tion The Fall of the House of Usher is still in production, which Flanagan calls a "kind of a grand curtain call for the Netflix type of work that we did." Flanagan and his producing partner Macy have since inked a deal with Prime Video for upcoming projects, and The Dark Tower 🌞is just the first.
