Carrie Series Is Coming To Prime Video Via Doctor Sleep Director
Stephen King's 1974 novel Carrie has already had three adaptations in the last 50 years, and now a fourth adaptation may be on the way. Horror maven Mike Flanagan is developing Carrie as a TV series for Amazon's Prime Video.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Amazon MGM Studios is producing the Carrie series as "a bold and timely reimagining" of King's story. In the book and the previous adaptations, Carrie is a teenage girl whose life has been dominated by her religiously fanatical mother. Carrie is also mercilessly teased by her fellow students in school before she discovers telekinetic powers that allow her to get vengeance on everyone who wronged her.
Flanagan has previously directed feature films based on King's Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game, as well as the upcoming movie The Life of Chuck. Prior to joining the Carrie remake, Flanagan signed on to develop King's The Dark Tower as a Prime Video series, but the status of that project isn't clear. Flanagan also wrote and produced several horror shows for Netflix including The Haunting and Midnight Mass. More recently, Flanagan signed on to direct the next Exorcist film.
