‘Carrie’ First Look Images Preview Mike Flanagan’s Stephen King Series for Prime Video
The eight-episode reinvention updates King’s story for the social-media age and expands the telekinetic mythology, with Prime Video saying it premieres this fall.
- On Monday, Prime Video released first-look images of Mike Flanagan's eight-episode adaptation of Stephen King's 1974 novel Carrie, featuring Summer Howell as the titular telekinetic teenager.
- Reimagined for the social media age, Carrie White is a misfit high-schooler whose story now explores modern themes of bullying and technology rather than functioning as a period piece.
- Expanding the mythology beyond King's original text, Flanagan explores the "TK gene" and science behind Carrie's abilities, portraying her as part of a "sorority of very gifted women" she does not know exists.
- Alongside Howell, the ensemble cast includes Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle, with Flanagan promising the iconic prom scene will unfold differently.
- Set to debut this fall on Prime Video, the series will have a significant presence later this month at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, marking the first television adaptation of King's novel.
