Mike Flanagan‘s Prime Video series adaptation of Stephen King‘s Carrie has potentially found its lead in Summer H. Howell (Hunter Hunter), who is in talks to play the titular character.

Carrie is described as a reimagining of the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White, who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father’s sudden death, Carrie finds herself contending with the challenges of attending high school, a bullying scandal and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.

Flanagan is writer-director. He executive produces with Trevor Macy.

Howell‘s Carrie negotiations were first reported by Variety.
