Prime Video premiered the first trailer for Mike Flanagan’s limited series Carrie at San Diego Comic-Con and set a full-series launch for Wednesday, October 7, 2026, with all eight episodes arriving the same day. The drama stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White alongside Samantha Sloyan, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder and Matthew Lillard. Flanagan and Stephen King serve as executive producers, Amazon MGM Studios produces, and Flanagan directs four episodes. The series reimagines King’s novel by expanding character backstories and updating the story to a social-media era bully scandal that coincides with Carrie’s telekinetic awakening after her father’s sudden death. SlashFilm reports the trailer indicates Flanagan is keeping King’s original ending while deepening the lead-up to that night. Prime’s SDCC presentation framed the show as a “deeply human” exploration of kindness versus cruelty and whether Carrie becomes a hero, a monster, or something more complicated.

I like Flanagan's work but I can't see the point of this. It's drab and calling back to the movies rather than the book- I truly can't see the point in avoiding a fat Carrie, as every other adaptation has done.

Just Carrie again in the exact same way it has been done before but i guess this time we have social media and phones, that really changes the message, right?

…this is the fourth version of the story, not counting the pseudo sequel. Why do we need this?

1ª vez q vai sair algo do Flanagan e o meu interesse é 0. Eu tinha achado q tinha até potencial qndo li q ele faria uma série de Carrie msm q eu ache cansativo ver de novo uma obra q já tem 4 adaptações (e todas são no mínimo ok, tendo pelo menos uma excelente). Mas as imagens só me broxam mais...

Not production stills anymore and still looks as flat as it could ever look...

King described Carrie as a "chunky girl with pimples on her neck and back and buttocks," and a "frog among swans." I'm not seeing much of that here, and that takes away so much from the character of Carrie. I'll reserve judgement, but I'd like'd to have seen some of that here.
