A new take on Carrie White
The series is written and executive produced by showrunner Mike Flanagan, who also directs four episodes. Stephen King also serves as an executive producer.
Prime Video describes Carrie as a bold, timely and surprising reinvention of King’s coming-of-age story.
The series follows Carrie White, a misfit high school student who has spent her life hidden away with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret.
After her father’s sudden death pushes her into public high school, Carrie faces a viral bullying scandal, the pressures of the social-media age and the rise of mysterious telekinetic powers.
Cast and creative team
Summer H. Howell stars as Carrie White after an extensive search that saw more than 1,000 actors read for the role.
Samantha Sloyan stars as Margaret White. The ensemble also includes Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder and Matthew Lillard.
Carrie is produced by Amazon MGM Studios.
Stephen King’s horror landmark
King’s debut novel was published in 1974 and helped launch one of the most successful careers in modern horror fiction.
The 1976 Brian De Palma film adaptation went on to become one of the defining screen versions of the story. The new series arrives in the film’s 50th anniversary year.
