- Prime Video released first‑look images and press details on Monday that confirm an eight‑episode limited series from Mike Flanagan based on Stephen King’s 1974 novel.
- Flanagan serves as writer, showrunner and director of four episodes, Stephen King is an executive producer and Amazon MGM Studios produces the series.
- Summer H. Howell stars as Carrie after a reported casting search of more than 1,000 actors, supported by an ensemble that includes Samantha Sloyan, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette and Matthew Lillard.
