The entire town is bullying Carrie in first full-length trailer
The latest series from Mike Flanagan and Stephen King premieres on Prime Video on October 7.
The upcoming Prime Video series "Carrie" delves into Stephen King's iconic horror tale with a fresh perspective. Showrunner Mike Flanagan's adaptation of the tragic story follows Carrie White, portrayed by Summer H. Howell, as she reluctantly navigates public school in Chamberlain, Maine. Initially, Carrie exhibits a cheerful demeanor, even as she enthusiastically uses a computer for the first time, perhaps a novelty given her mother Margaret's (Samantha Sloyan) fundamentalist beliefs.
However, the trailer quickly shifts to darker themes as the rest of the town's cruelty unfolds. The trailer reaffirms the series' modern take on Carrie, as she faces contemporary teen issues in 2026, including the creation of an Instagram parody account following a humiliating gym class incident. Unlike the 1976 Brian De Palma film, which condensed Carrie's transformation into a handful of hours, the eight-episode series allows ample time for Carrie's anger to accumulate before reaching a boiling point. "Carrie" is set to premiere on Prime Video on October 7.
