Amazon’s TV series Carrie Potential Release Date, Cast, Plot and News
Mike Flanagan, the renowned horror filmmaker, has recently parted ways with Netflix and joined forces with Amazon. Their first collaboration will be a series adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic novel from the 70s, Carrie.
Flanagan’s reputation has been solidified over the years with hits like “The Haunting of Hill House” and “The Haunting of Bly Manor” on Netflix, as well as original concepts like “Midnight Mass.” His unique storytelling style and ability to create tension and suspense have captivated audiences worldwide.
“Carrie” will mark Flanagan’s next project, where he will serve as the showrunner, writer, co-executive producer, and director of select episodes. This level of creative control promises an exciting and faithful adaptation of King’s chilling tale.
The official confirmation of the project came in April 2025, with production set to begin this summer. While Amazon has not announced a release date yet, based on Flanagan’s previous projects, fans can expect the series to potentially drop on Prime Video in the summer of 2026.
The series will consist of eight episodes and promises a bold and timely reimagining of the story of Carrie White, a misfit high-schooler with telekinetic powers. The show will delve into themes of bullying, social exclusion, religious fundamentalism, and female rage, staying true to the essence of King’s novel.
While “Carrie” has been adapted multiple times before, this will be the first TV series adaptation of the novel. Previous film adaptations have had mixed reviews, but Flanagan’s unique vision and storytelling prowess are sure to breathe new life into the iconic story.
The cast of “Carrie” includes familiar faces from Flanagan’s previous projects, such as Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle. The series also features a talented ensemble of actors who have worked with Flanagan in the past.
With Flanagan at the helm, “Carrie” promises to be a thrilling and captivating series that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Fans of horror, Stephen King, and Flanagan’s work can look forward to a fresh and innovative take on this classic tale of terror.
