Mike Flanagan’s love for Stephen King will once again hit screens with “Carrie,” and Monday, Prime Video gave us our first look at horror’s newest Scream Queen.

Summer Howell (pictured above) stars in the upcoming adaptation as misfit high‑schooler Carrie White, who has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). “After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence,” reads its official description.

The eight-episode coming-of-age horror series (that will drop on the streamer this fall) will explore the “everyday choices that build toward a single, shattering night,” and whether we’re witnessing “the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated.”

“Carrie” is written and executive-produced by showrunner Flanagan, who also directs four of the episodes. King also serves as executive producer.

Flanagan is no stranger to the King universe. He previously adapted both “Doctor Sleep” (the sequel to “The Shining”) and “Gerald’s Game” as movies. In 2022, it was announced that he was also making a TV series of “The Dark Tower” for Prime Video.

Joining Howell is an ensemble of series regulars that includes Samantha Sloyan (“Midnight Mass,” pictured above) 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 Tota (“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.

Stephen King’s debut novel “Carrie” was published in 1974. The novel spent 14 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list, and was later adapted by director Brian De Palma in 1976. The movie earned two Academy Award nominations, one for original Carrie Sissy Spacek (Best Actress in a Leading Role) and the other for Piper Laurie, who played Carrie’s mom (Best Actress in a Supporting Role). A sequel titled “The Rage: Carrie 2” was released in 1999, with Amy Irving reprising her original role of Sue Snell. A second film adaptation followed in 2002 (written by Bryan Fuller and airing on NBC), while a remake starring Chloë Grace Moretz followed in 2013.
