Mike Flanagan’s Carrie Series Sets Lead Cast, Starts Vancouver Filming

News summary

Mike Flanagan is helming a new television adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel "Carrie" for Amazon Prime Video, with Summer Howell cast in the titular role of Carrie White. The series, described as a bold and timely reimagining, follows Carrie as she navigates high school bullying, personal loss, and the emergence of her telekinetic powers. Samantha Sloyan will portray Carrie's domineering mother Margaret White, reuniting with Flanagan from previous projects like "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "Midnight Mass." The supporting cast includes Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, Josie Totah as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, and Joel Oulette as Tommy. Filming is set to begin this summer in Vancouver, with Flanagan serving as showrunner, executive producer, and directing select episodes. The series aims to bring a fresh perspective to the story, which has been previously adapted into films in 1976, 2002, and 2013.
