Prime Video released the first official images of Carrie, the first serial adaptation of Stephen King’s novel (ported to the cinema in 1976 by Brian De Palma), adapted and directed by Mike Flanagan, the recent horror king of Netflix The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass. The TV series is very expected and will debut in autumn on Prime Video with eight episodes in which there will be a contemporary reinterpretation of the story of Carrie White at the time of social media, keeping in the center the path of an marginalized girl destined to discover powers outside the municipality. Mike Flanagan’s presence could be a guarantee that he won’t be just a horror YA… at least hopefully.
La trama di Carrie
The protagonist is Carrie White, a shy and isolated teenager who spent most of his life under the control of his mother Margaret, a deeply religious and hyperprotective woman. After her father’s sudden death, Carrie is forced to attend public high school, where she becomes the target of bullying episodes that amplify in the era of social networks.
Carrie is catapulted in the ruthless ecosystem that she does not know, where she is forced to face the mediatic scalp caused by an act of bullying that upsets her community, constant pressure and indiscriminate cruelty of the social media age, as well as the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that manifest during her teenage.
In the course of eight episodes of the tight rhythm, the series expands and deepens the masterpiece of King — adding thickness to the characters and their dynamics, and following the small daily choices that will lead them to a single, shocking night, in a compelling and deeply human story about the conflict between kindness and cruelty, and that will lead the viewer to wonder if he is witnessing the birth of a heroine, much more monster or something.

To play Carrie White is Summer Howell, chosen after a long selection that involved over a thousand young actresses. Samantha Sloyan, a recurring presence in Mike Flanagan’s productions, plays Margaret White, the mother of the protagonist.
