Amazon Prime Video has released a new trailer for “Carrie,” the television adaptation of Stephen King’s classic horror novel. All eight episodes of the series will debut on October 7.

The series is a “bold and timely reimagining of the story of misfit high school student Carrie White, who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother,” the logline teases. “After the sudden and untimely death of her father, Carrie finds herself dealing with the strange landscape of public high school, a bullying scandal that tears apart her community, and the rise of mysterious telekinetic powers.”

Summer H. Howell will play Carrie White, with Siena Agudong as Sue Snell and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle. Also starring in the series are 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.

Mike Flanagan serves as writer, executive producer, showrunner and director, with Trevor Macy serving as executive producer and Amazon MGM Studios serving as producer.

This is far from Howell’s first horror project, as he previously appeared in “Curse of Chucky,” “Cult of Chucky,” “Hunter Hunter,” “Spirit in the Blood,” “Time Cut,” “Harland Manor” and “Channel Zero.” Sloyan and Flanagan have been long-time collaborators; Sloyan previously starred in Flanagan’s “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Midnight Club,” “Midnight Mass” and “Hush.”

“Carrie” will consist of eight episodes and was first reported to be in development in October 2024. Amazon officially greenlit the series in April 2025. King’s novel was first adapted into a hit, Oscar-nominated film in 1976, followed by a poorly received sequel in 1999, a television movie in 2002 and a remake in 2013.
