Prime Video debuted a trailer for Mike Flanagan’s reimagining of Stephen King’s Carrie during its San Diego Comic-Con presentation and announced the eight-episode limited series will premiere Wednesday, October 7, 2026 with all episodes released the same day. The story follows misfit high-schooler Carrie White, whose father’s sudden death forces her into public school where a viral bullying scandal, social-media cruelty, and the awakening of telekinetic powers drive events toward a single, shattering night. The series expands King’s novel by deepening characters and tensions and tracing the small choices that build toward that night. Summer H. Howell stars as Carrie White; the cast also includes Samantha Sloyan, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder and Matthew Lillard. Mike Flanagan and Stephen King executive produce, Flanagan directs four episodes, and Amazon MGM Studios produces. Coverage of the trailer notes Flanagan’s version preserves Stephen King’s original ending rather than changing it as some film adaptations did. With a full-series drop on October 7, viewers will be able to watch the entire adaptation at once on Prime Video.
