The series, which marks the first time the story has been adapted for television, is reimagined by showrunner Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House).

Carrie will premiere exclusively on Prime Video this fall in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

The series will be comprised of eight episodes, expanding on King’s original story about a high school girl with telekinetic powers by “deepening its characters and tensions” and chronicling a “deeply human story about kindness versus cruelty, and whether we’re witnessing the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated.”

Summer Howell stars as the series’ title character Carrie White.

The show synopsis reads: “Misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Howell) has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). 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.”

Sloyan (The Pitt) stars 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 Tota (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.

In addition to being the showrunner, Flanagan also writes and exec produces the series. He also directs four episodes.

King serves as executive producer on the series from Amazon MGM Studios production.

The author’s debut novel was published in 1974, spent 14 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into more than 35 languages.

Brian De Palma’s 1976 film adaptation of Carrie, which starred Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, earned an Academy Award nomination for best actress for Spacek and best supporting actress for Laurie. This year marks the film’s 50th anniversary.
