Prime Video has unveiled the haunting and heartbreaking official trailer for ‘Carrie,’ the upcoming eight-episode Original series from visionary showrunner Mike Flanagan, offering a chilling new take on Stephen King’s iconic horror story.
The trailer pulls back the curtain on Flanagan’s ambitious reinvention of ‘Carrie,’ teasing an expanded story that explores the characters of Chamberlain with new depth and complexity. At its centre is Carrie White, played by Summer H. Howell, as she attempts to navigate the cruelty, pressure and isolation of the modern world while struggling to understand the extraordinary forces taking shape around her.
As tensions build, the trailer hints at the devastating events that have made Carrie one of horror’s most enduring characters, ultimately leading towards the single, shattering night that will change everything.
But how much do we really know about Carrie White? And what truly happened in Chamberlain?
Howell takes on the legendary titular role following an extensive search that saw nearly 1,500 actors read for the part. She leads an impressive ensemble that includes Samantha Sloyan (The Pitt) as Margaret White, Siena Agudong (Resident Evil) as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton (Fire Country) as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette (My Life with the Walter Boys) as Tommy Ross, Josie Totah (The Buccaneers) as Tina, Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) as Billy, Thalia Dudek (The Running Man) as Emaline, Amber Midthunder (Prey) as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard (Man of Tomorrow) as Principal Grayle.
The series also brings together a decorated group of recurring guest stars, including several longtime Flanagan collaborators. Michael Trucco (Fire Country), Crystal Balint (The Fall of the House of Usher), Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House), Rahul Kohli (We Were Liars), Tim Bagley (The Comeback) and Heather Graham (The White Lotus) all feature in the series.
‘Carrie’ is written and executive produced by Mike Flanagan, the acclaimed creator behind Midnight Mass and The Haunting of Hill House, with Stephen King also serving as an executive producer.
Flanagan is behind the camera for four episodes, directing Episodes 101, 102, 107 and 108. Kate Siegel (The Exorcist: Martyrs) directs Episode 103, Axelle Carolyn (Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen) directs Episode 104, Kyra Sedgwick (Family Movie) directs Episode 105, and Hiromi Kamata (Shogun) directs Episode 106.
