Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer for Mike Flanagan‘s upcoming Carrie television series!
The new adaptation of Stephen King‘s story is debuting this fall, in time for spooky season in October, and we finally have a full trailer.
What is Carrie about?
Based on Stephen King‘s iconic debut novel, Carrie is a bold, timely, and surprising reinvention of the classic coming?of?age story, adapted as a television series for the first time by visionary showrunner Mike Flanagan. The series follows misfit high?schooler Carrie White who has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret. 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.
Who stars in the new series?
Summer Howell takes on the titular role of Carrie White, following a casting search that saw nearly 1,500 actors reading for the role.
Also in the cast as series regulars are Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Josie Totah as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
