carrie, the prime video series 🩸

Carrie is Mike Flanagan's series adaptation of Stephen King's first novel, and the first time the story has been told as a tv series. all eight episodes dropped on Prime Video on October 7, 2026. in this version, Carrie White has spent her life hidden away at home with her mother Margaret until her father's sudden death sends her to public high school, where she has to deal with a viral bullying scandal, social media cruelty and telekinetic powers she doesn't understand yet.

Summer H. Howell plays Carrie, with Samantha Sloyan as Margaret, 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. Flanagan wrote it and directed four episodes, and King is an executive producer.

spoiler note: the clips on this page talk about the whole season, including prom and who survives it. below are our Carrie clips: whether Emaline ruined the ending, why nobody gave Carrie a buddy on her first day at Ewen High, and whether Carrie is just the average high school experience. each one has the full transcript, a short backstory and our take. as always, it's commentary and opinion, not reporting.
