With just under a month to go, Prime Video has released the full-length official trailer for Carrie, their upcoming eight-episode original series from Mike Flanagan (The Fall of the House of Usher; Midnight Mass; The Haunting of Hill House) that will reimagine the haunting and heartbreaking tale of Carrie White.
As per the synopsis, the new series will offer "a revealing glimpse at how the series expands the world, bringing new depth and complexity to its beloved characters while exploring the forces that shape Carrie White (Summer H. Howell) as she navigates the cruelty and pressure of the modern world — building toward a single, shattering night. But how much do we really know about Carrie — or what happened in Chamberlain?"
The series is, of course, based on Stephen King's iconic debut novel, which was originally published in 1974. It has since been adapted into three films: Carrie (1976) starring Sissy Spacek and John Travolta, The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999) starring Emily Bergl, and Carrie (2013) starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Judy Greer, and Julianne Moore. There was also a TV movie in 2002, starring Angela Bettis and Patricia Clarkson.
The upcoming series stars Summer H. Howell in the lead role, with a supporting cast consisting of Samantha Sloyan (The Pitt) as Margaret White, Siena Agudong (Resident Evil) as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton (Fire Country) as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette (My Life with the Walter Boys) as Tommy Ross, Josie Totah (The Buccaneers) as Tina, Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) as Billy, Thalia Dudek (The Running Man) as Emaline, Amber Midthunder (Prey) as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard (Man of Tomorrow) as Principal Grayle.
Recurring guest stars include Michael Trucco (Fire Country), Crystal Balint (The Fall of the House of Usher), Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House), Rahul Kohli (We Were Liars), Tim Bagley (The Comeback), and Heather Graham (The White Lotus).
Flanagan helmed episodes one, two, seven, and eight, while Kate Siegel directed episodes three, four, five and six. Stephen King is attached as an executive producer.
Carrie starts streaming, exclusively on Prime Video, on October 7!
