What Do We Know About the upcoming series adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Carrie? More than you may think. The Prime Video series from The Life of Chuck and The Haunting of Hill House filmmaker Mike Flanagan is set to be his fourth take on a work by King. From plot, casting news, and more, let’s dive in and look at what is coming up in the adaptation of the classic horror novel.

Why another remake of Carrie?

Despite Brian De Palma’s 1976 adaptation remaining a classic horror film, multiple variations of Stephen King’s debut novel have made their way to audiences. From a sequel in 1999 to remakes in both 2002 and 2013, as well as a stage musical, Flanagan’s series takes a “bold and timely reimagining” of the book. What this entails remains to be seen. But, we do know that Flanagan has a reverence for Stephen...

The Mike Flanagan’s Carrie news doesn’t stop coming! Hot on the heels of the announcement that Heather Graham, Kate Siegel, and Cassandra Naud were among the latest cast in the upcoming Prime Video series, Flanagan himself has shared that filming is underway for his take on the iconic text by horror maestro Stephen King.

The announcement came in the form of an Instagram post from Flanagan, featuring a single image of the first slate and a caption that simply reads, “And we’re off.”

Stephen King’s original 1974 novel Carrie is the story of Carrie White, a teenage girl subjected to constant abuse both by her peers and by her extremely religious mother. When she gets her first period, the telekinetic powers she’s secretly had since she was a child start to grow.

Carrie, the subject of author Stephen King’s first published novel and one of the greatest female icons in the horror genre, is coming back – and this time Mike Flanagan is the one taking her to prom. It was announced last October that Flanagan was working with King to turn the story of Carrie into an eight episode series that will be released through Amazon’s Prime Video service. Flanagan is executive producing the series with Trevor Macy. Deadline noted at the time, “They’re opening a writer’s room, so this one’s happening quickly.” Since then, the show received the official greenlight from Prime Video and has been assembling its cast. Just last week, we heard that filming would begin in a matter of days – and sure enough, Flanagan started the week by confirming that filming has begun!

The confirmation comes in the form of a clapperboard picture...
