In brief: 'Carrie' TV series first look and more
The series marks the first TV adaptation of Stephen King’s debut novel and stars Summer Howell as Carrie White.
- Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios released first images from the upcoming Carrie series earlier this week, with writer/director Mike Flanagan reimagining Stephen King's 1974 horror classic as an eight-episode adaptation set to debut this fall.
- Flanagan is approaching King's work from a different perspective than previous adaptations, updating the novel's themes of bullying and cruelty through a modern teenage and social-media lens that King could not have anticipated 50 years ago.
- Summer Howell stars as Carrie White, a sheltered misfit thrust into public high school after her father's sudden death, navigating viral bullying, social-media pressure, and awakening telekinetic powers while Samantha Sloyan plays her fiercely protective mother Margaret White.
- The eight-episode series expands King's cultural landmark with 911 recordings and courtroom testimony to explore Carrie's powers, with Flanagan serving as writer, executive producer, and showrunner while also directing select episodes alongside executive producer Trevor Macy.
- Flanagan has teased a "very different" prom scene and expanded mythology during next week's San Diego Comic-Con presentation, marking the first television adaptation of King's debut novel arriving this fall on Prime Video.
