Sept. 9 (UPI) — Prime Video is teasing the new series Carrie.
The streaming service shared a trailer for the show Wednesday featuring Summer H. Howell as Carrie White.
Carrie is based on Stephen King’s classic 1974 horror novel of the same name, which tells the story of a bullied and isolated teenage girl who develops telekinetic powers.
The adaptation hails from The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass creator Mike Flanagan, who reimagines King’s work in the present day.
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,” an official synopsis reads.
Other cast members include Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Josie Totah as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
Carrie is written, executive produced and showrun by Flanagan, with King serving as an executive producer. The series premieres Oct. 7 on Prime Video.
King’s novel was previously adapted as a 1976 film starring Sissy Spacek as Carrie.
