Mike Flanagan is heading back to the world of Stephen King with a new take on one of the author’s most iconic stories. This fall, Prime Video will debut an eight-episode television adaptation of Carrie, reimagining King’s 1974 novel for the social media era—while expanding the story beyond what audiences have seen in previous film adaptations. Ahead, here’s everything we know so far.What is Carrie about?Like King’s original novel, the series follows Carrie White, a shy teenager who discovers she has telekinetic abilities after enduring relentless bullying.Prime Video’s version updates the story for the present day. According to the official synopsis, Carrie (Summer H. Howell) has spent her life secluded at home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden death forces her into public school for the first time, she finds herself navigating a viral bullying scandal, the pressures of growing up in the age of social media, and the emergence of mysterious powers she struggles to understand.Showrunner Mike Flanagan has emphasized that the series is intended to build on King’s novel rather than simply recreate earlier adaptations.“The only way to approach it was to build something new out of the ingredients of Carrie,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “Otherwise, there’s really no purpose in trying to retread ground that’s been so beautifully walked before.”How will this version differ from previous adaptations?Flanagan has described the series as an expansion of King’s original story rather than a scene-for-scene retelling.One of the biggest changes is the show’s modern setting, which allows the story to explore how bullying has evolved in the internet era.“The themes that Steve was talking about half a century ago of kindness versus cruelty, of empathy and bullying, and violence at school have become even more relevant today than he could have contemplated because of our relationship to technology,” Flanagan told Entertainment Weekly.Will the famous prom scene still happen?Yes, but viewers shouldn’t expect it to unfold the way they remember.While Flanagan confirmed the series will still include many of the novel’s defining moments, including the infamous prom, he said the path to that night—and what happens once everyone gets there—will be different.“We’re getting there a completely different way and the events of that prom are going to be completely different,” he told EW. “That’s a wonderfully delicious and irresistible opportunity for someone who loves adapting things.”Who stars in Carrie?Canadian actress Summer H. Howell leads the series as Carrie White. According to Flanagan, more than 1,000 actresses auditioned for the role before Howell was cast.The ensemble also includes:Summer H. Howell as Carrie WhiteSamantha Sloyan as Margaret WhiteSiena Agudong as Sue SnellAlison Thornton as Chris HargensenJoel Oulette as Tommy RossJosie Tota as TinaArthur Conti as BillyThalia Dudek as EmalineAmber Midthunder as Miss DesjardinMatthew Lillard as Principal GrayleWhen will Carrie premiere?Prime Video has confirmed that Carrie will debut this fall.
