Horror’s favorite It girl is getting her television series debut, with the first trailer now out for Mike Flanagan’s (The Haunting of Hill House<\/em><\/a>) adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The eight-episode miniseries follows Carrie White as she endures bullying at school and abuse at home from her fanatically religious mother, Margaret \u2014 all while discovering she has telekinetic powers. As the trailer shows, Flanagan’s version drags King’s 1974 novel into the present day, trading its original setting for a story steeped in social media and viral humiliation. The 2013 film adaptation made a similar leap into modern times, so here’s hoping this take sticks the landing.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that technically, this isn’t Carrie<\/em>‘s first trip to TV. A 2002 television movie, directed by David Carson and written by Hannibal<\/em>‘s Bryan Fuller, starred Angela Bettis (Girl, Interrupted<\/em>) in the title role \u2014 though Flanagan’s series marks the story’s first full episodic adaptation.<\/p>\n

Summer H. Howell leads the new cast as Carrie White, alongside Samantha Sloyan as Margaret, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle, with Alison Thornton, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, and Joel Oulette rounding out the ensemble. Flanagan serves as writer, showrunner, and director on four of the eight episodes.<\/p>\n

Carrie<\/em> premieres on Prime Video October 7.<\/p>\n
