Mike Flanagan Reimagines Stephen King’s ‘Carrie’ for Prime Video: Watch the Trailer Now!

Prime Video is serving up a fresh, blood-soaked coronation with a brand-new adaptation of Stephen King’s debut masterpiece, Carrie. Helmed by modern horror auteur Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass), this eight-episode series brings the legendary telekinetic prom queen into the unforgiving matrix of the digital age. Following the death of her father, Carrie White is ripped from her isolated upbringing under her zealot mother, Margaret. She’s thrown directly into the cruel ecosystem of high school. There, she must navigate viral bullying and relentless social media harassment. All while her terrifying powers awaken alongside her adolescence.
