Carrie Trailer and Key Art Unleashed by Prime Video
Today, Prime Video unveiled the haunting and heartbreaking official trailer for Carrie, the eight-episode Original series from visionary showrunner Mike Flanagan. All eight episodes of Carrie will be released on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The official trailer begins to pull back the curtain on the urgent and arresting reinvention of Stephen King’s iconic story, offering a revealing glimpse at how the series expands the world, bringing new depth and complexity to its beloved characters while exploring the forces that shape Carrie White (Summer H. Howell) as she navigates the cruelty and pressure of the modern world — building toward a single, shattering night. But how much do we really know about Carrie — or what happened in Chamberlain?
Carrie stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, cast in the legendary titular role following an extensive search that saw nearly 1,500 actors read. The ensemble’s series regulars include Samantha Sloyan (The Pitt) as Margaret White, Siena Agudong (Resident Evil) as Sue Snell, and Alison Thornton (Fire Country) as Chris Hargensen.
The cast also includes Joel Oulette (My Life with the Walter Boys) as Tommy Ross, Josie Totah (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.
Carrie’s decorated ensemble also brings together longtime Flanagan collaborators and newcomers to his creative circle, with recurring guest stars including Michael Trucco (Fire Country), Crystal Balint (The Fall of the House of Usher), Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House), Rahul Kohli (We Were Liars), Tim Bagley (The Comeback), and Heather Graham (The White Lotus).
Carrie is written and executive produced by showrunner Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House), with Stephen King also serving as executive producer. Flanagan directed Episodes 101, 102, 107 and 108, while Episodes 103, 104, 105 and 106 are directed by Kate Siegel (The Exorcist: Martyrs), Axelle Carolyn (Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen), Kyra Sedgwick (Family Movie), and Hiromi Kamata (Shogun), respectively. The series is an Amazon MGM Studios production.
Based on Stephen King’s iconic debut novel, Carrie is a bold, timely, and surprising reinvention of the classic coming‑of‑age story, adapted as a television series for the first time by visionary showrunner Mike Flanagan. The series follows misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer H. Howell), who has spent her life hidden away in 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.
Told across eight propulsive episodes, the series expands King’s cultural landmark, deepening its characters and tensions while following the small, everyday choices that build toward a single, shattering night in a gripping, deeply human story about kindness versus cruelty—and whether we’re witnessing the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated.
Stephen King’s debut novel Carrie was published in 1974, launching a career in which his books have sold more than 350 million copies worldwide. The novel spent 14 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list and has been translated into more than 35 languages. Brian De Palma’s 1976 film adaptation, an Academy Award–nominated feature, cemented the story’s cultural impact; this year marks the film’s 50th anniversary.
