How is Mike Flanagan reimagining Carrie?
The new version brings Carrie’s bullying into the social-media age. After the death of her father, the formerly sheltered teenager enters public high school and becomes the center of a viral scandal.
Here’s the full synopsis from Amazon.
Misfit high?schooler Carrie White (Summer Howell) has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social?media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.
Told over eight propulsive episodes, the series expands King’s cultural landmark — deepening its characters and tensions, and following the small, everyday choices that build toward a single, shattering night, in a gripping, deeply human story about kindness versus cruelty, and whether we’re witnessing the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated.
Samantha Sloyan plays Carrie’s fiercely protective and domineering mother, Margaret White. The principal cast also includes Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Amber Midthunder, and Matthew Lillard.
Mike wrote and executive produced the series in addition to serving as showrunner and directing four episodes. Stephen King is also an executive producer.
All eight episodes of Carrie will premiere together on Prime Video on Wednesday, October 7.
