Following their collaboration on Oculus, modern master of horror Mike Flanagan is reuniting with actress Katee Sackhoff on his adaptation of Stephen King‘s “Carrie” for Prime Video.
Production took place in Vancouver between June and October last year. According to Sackhoff, the limited series is slated for an October premiere.
“October of 2026, ‘Carrie’ comes out on Amazon. You guys are in for a treat. It’s very good,” Sackhoff told Fan Expo Vancouver, via The Direct.
“You guys are gonna love it. Mike Flanagan is, so good at what he does: smart, psychological horror,” Sackhoff added. “And he’s very, very good at adapting Stephen King, and Stephen trusts him.”
In “Carrie,” misfit high-schooler Carrie White has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father’s sudden and untimely death, Carrie finds herself contending with the alien landscape of public high school, a bullying scandal that shatters her community, and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.
Mike Flanagan serves as writer and showrunner in addition to directing select episodes of the eight-part series. Amazon MGM Studios produces.
Summer H. Howell stars as Carrie White, with Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Josie Toah as Tina Blake, Arthur Conti as Billy Nolan, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Amber Midthunder as Rita Desjardian, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
Recurring guest stars include Sackhoff, Heather Graham, Kate Siegel, Michael Trucco, Rahul Kohli, Crystal Balint, Danielle Klaudt, Tim Bagley, Tahmoh Penikett, Mapuana Makia, Naika Toussaint, Delainey Hayles, Cassandra Naud, and Rowan Danielle.
King’s 1974 novel was previously adapted by Brian De Palma in 1976, David Carson in 2002, and Kimberly Peirce in 2013.
“Carrie” is Flanagan’s fourth King adaptation, following Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, and The Life of Chuck, and he’s already gearing up for a fifth with The Mist.
