Prime Video has officially greenlit Mike Flanagan‘s (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass) TV series adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, which will consist of eight episodes.

Summer H. Howell (Hunter Hunter) is in negotiations to play Carrie White, and Siena Agudong (Resident Evil) is set to play Sue Snell.

Flanagan serves as the series’ writer, executive producer and showrunner, and will direct select episodes. Trevor Macy also executive produces. It is produced by Amazon MGM Studios.

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.

“Carrie is an iconic story that has withstood the test of time with continued cultural relevance,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. With Mike Flanagan at the helm and the accomplished team assembled including executive producer Trevor Macy this provocative series is sure to captivate our global customers.”
