Carrie’s Powers Are Stronger Than Ever Before in New Poster for Mike Flanagan TV Show
- Amazon Prime Video will premiere Mike Flanagan's Carrie adaptation on October 7, 2026, modernizing Stephen King's classic 1974 horror novel about a bullied high schooler discovering mysterious telekinetic powers after her father's death.
- Unlike earlier versions, Flanagan explores the 'bigger picture' of King's novel, expanding Carrie's place in a larger community of gifted women while updating the author's 50-year-old themes of kindness versus cruelty to address today's social media age and school violence.
- The first two episodes screened at Toronto International Film Festival and Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, garnering rave reviews; Filmhounds called it 'a masterful adaptation,' while Screen Rant praised Summer Howell's portrayal of Carrie as 'deeply vulnerable' and true to King's creation.
- Stephen King endorsed the series on Threads, writing 'Mike Flanagan's version of CARRIE is brilliant. What it has to say about social media is shocking and true,' with Howell starring opposite Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
- The expanded format deepens character development while new promotional art depicts Carrie's telekinetic powers at maximum destruction; Flanagan's track record with prior Stephen King adaptations positions this series as potentially one of his biggest shows.
