Overview
- Prime Video released first‑look images and an Entertainment Weekly preview on Monday, July 13, 2026, showing Summer H. Howell as Carrie and early visual hints of her telekinetic powers.
- The eight‑episode series is written and showrun by Mike Flanagan, who will direct four episodes, and lists Stephen King as an executive producer with Amazon MGM Studios producing.
- Flanagan describes the project as a deliberate reinvention that expands the story’s mythology to include other telekinetic women and opens each episode with a different woman’s origin tale.
- A wide ensemble has been announced, including Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
- Prime Video schedules the series for fall streaming with an expected October 2026 release that is being positioned to coincide with the novel’s 50th anniversary and the Halloween season.
