Mike Flanagan's latest Stephen King adaptation creeps ever closer, with Prime Video today releasing a brand new trailer for Carrie, the upcoming series based on the classic telekinetic teen:
Starring Summer Howell as Carrie White, the reimagined series also features Samanatha Sloyan, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Tota, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder, and Matthew Lillard. The series’ synopsis is as follows:
Misfit high‑schooler Carrie White has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret . After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.
An official press release continues that “over eight propulsive episodes, the series expands King’s cultural landmark — deepening its characters and tensions, and following the small, everyday choices that build toward a single, shattering night, in a gripping, deeply human story about kindness versus cruelty, and whether we’re witnessing the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated.”
All eight episodes of Carrie will drop on Prime at once on October 7, with attendees at Fantastic Fest able to get a sneak peek at the first two episodes later this month.
