Amazon MGM Studios has pulled back the curtain on Carrie, a new series based on Stephen King’s legendary debut novel. The adaptation is being developed by filmmaker Mike Flanagan, and it will arrive on Prime Video on October 7.
King’s Carrie has already become one of the most enduring horror properties in modern fiction, spawning a classic Brian De Palma film and several subsequent adaptations. Flanagan’s version now marks the next major reimagining of the material, this time serialized for television.
What We Know
The announcement arrived via Amazon MGM Studios, positioning the series as a flagship genre title for Prime Video. Details about episode count, cast, and full creative team have not yet been released.
“You never forget your first dance.”
The cryptic wording used in the original announcement hearkens back to the novel’s iconic prom-night imagery. That alone suggests the series intends to preserve the story’s signature mixture of high-school cruelty, supernatural power, and unstoppable consequence.
Flanagan’s track record with serialized horror — including previous high-profile Netflix adaptations — gives the project built-in credibility among King fans and genre audiences alike.
Amazon MGM Studios did not confirm whether the series will be available as a one-time drop or rolled out weekly. More details are expected as the October 7 premiere nears.
