Carrie to spill more blood in season 2
Mike Flanagan's Prime Video reboot of Carrie will return for a second season after the cliffhanger ending and major book changes in the eight-episode first season.
Carrie White's story, immortalized in Stephen King's novel, is set to continue beyond the infamous prom night massacre in the upcoming season two of the television reboot. Prime Video has renewed the series for a second season, with showrunner and executive producer Mike Flanagan returning along with Stephen King as an executive producer. King revealed that Carrie's next adventure is "bound to be thrilling."
The first season, consisting of eight episodes, concluded with a cliffhanger ending and several loose ends diverging from the book. In the finale, much of the prom destruction was caused by Emaline West, Carrie's friend with the ability to astral project. Carrie survived a showdown with her strict mother, Margaret, due to her suppressed telekinetic abilities (TK gene). However, Margaret did not survive as Adelaide, a cult leader, telepathically stopped her heart after gathering information about Carrie's whereabouts.
Season two promises to delve deeper into new revelations, major character arcs, and shocking twists. Carrie is seen driving off not into the sunset but into the unknown with Emaline, as people attempt to track their location.
