Three years after signing an overall TV production deal with Amazon, Mike Flanagan is finally developing a new project for the studio.
Deadline reports that Amazon is moving forward with a Carrie series adaptation from Flanagan based on Stephen King’s 1974 novel about a girl born with telekinetic powers. In addition to writing and showrunning the project, Flanagan will direct a selection of its eight episodes.
Flanagan, who connfirmed the news on his Bluesky page today, will also executive produce alongside Trevor Macy. No official casting announcements have been made just yet, but actresses Summer H. Howell (Curse of Chucky) and Siena Agudong (Netflix’s Resident Evil) are reportedly in talks to portray Carrie White and cheerleader Sue Snell, respectively.
In a statement about the project, Amazon MGM’s head of TV Vernon Sanders noted how Carrie “has withstood the test of time with continued cultural relevance.” That’s a positive way of spinning the fact that there have been many Carrie adaptations (and a sequel) following Brian De Palma’s 1976 feature starring Sissy Spacek, Amy Irving, and Piper Laurie.
Though very few of those films were especially great, Flanagan has a solid track record adapting King’s classics, including The Life of Chuck, Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game. Stretching Carrie’s story out over eight episodes will likely to lead to some unexpected narrative changes, but it’s all (probably) still going to go down in flames when the series ultimately debuts.
