Amazon Prime Video has unveiled a teaser trailer for “Carrie,” a television series adaptation of Stephen King’s horror novel. The streaming platform announced that all eight episodes will premiere on October 7.
The series presents a reconceived take on King’s source material, following Carrie White, a high school outsider raised in isolation by her controlling mother. The narrative shifts when her father dies unexpectedly, forcing her to navigate conventional schooling for the first time. The story incorporates a scandal involving bullying that impacts her community and the manifestation of telekinetic abilities.
Summer H. Howell takes the title role of Carrie White, with supporting cast members including Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle, Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, Josie Totah as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, and Joel Oulette as Tommy. Howell has appeared in multiple horror productions previously, while Sloyan has collaborated with the series’ creative team on previous projects.
Mike Flanagan serves as writer, executive producer, showrunner, and director for the eight-episode series. Trevor Macy is listed as executive producer, with Amazon MGM Studios as the production company. Development on the project began in October 2024, with official greenlight approval following in April 2025. King’s novel has been adapted multiple times previously, including a 1976 Oscar-nominated film, a 1999 sequel, a 2002 television film, and a 2013 feature remake.
