Can you feel it? The series Stephen King fans have been waiting for is getting closer, with Prime Video dropping a new trailer for Mike Flanagan‘s new adaptation of Carrie – and it looks like it’s going to be worth the wait.
The eight-part series will deliver a fresh new take on the classic King novel, brought up-to-date and set in the current era of smart phones – making the period scene, for instance, even worse and more humiliating for poor Carrie White.
We’ll get Flanagan’s take on the series of events that will lead up to one of the most disturbingly iconic fictional high school prom nights ever – with Summer H. Howell leading the way as the fated Carrie White.
The official synopsis tells us a bit more about Flanagan’s vision to take King’s story even further:
A revealing glimpse at how the series expands the world, bringing new depth and complexity to its beloved characters while exploring the forces that shape Carrie White as she navigates the cruelty and pressure of the modern world — building toward a single, shattering night. But how much do we really know about Carrie — or what happened in Chamberlain?
Check out the full trailer below:
Cast alongside Howell we have Samantha Sloyan, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder, and Matthew Lillard (I love that Lillard is in this!).
Got to tell you, this is looking like quite the Halloween treat, and I’m so excited to watch this over the upcoming spooky season!
