More about Carrie
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 within the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving world 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 emerge alongside her adolescence.
As previously announced, Carrie stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, cast in the legendary titular role following an extensive search that saw more than 1,000 actors audition. The ensemble of series regulars also includes Samantha Sloyan (The Pitt) as Margaret White, Siena Agudong (Resident Evil) as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton (Fire Country) as Chris Hargensen, 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 is written and executive produced by showrunner Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House), with Flanagan also directing four episodes. Stephen King also serves as an executive producer.
