Prime Video's Carrie Unleashes First Official Trailer
Less than a month before its premiere, Prime Video unveiled the first official trailer for the TV series adaptation of Carrie.
The preview gave fans a full tease of the dark, modern reimagining of the classic Stephen King novel and how it will retell Carrie White's story in the age of social media, where bullying has become more prevalent than ever.
It also gave us a glimpse of how the series will expand the iconic King novel, with a longer runtime than the film adaptations and more depth and complexity in exploring the characters, including Carrie and her mother, Margaret.
While the trailer suggests it will keep the iconic moments from the book and the themes intact, it looks like it will also feel different for viewers because of the modern setting, as well as Mike Flanagan's signature touches as a filmmaker.
Nevertheless, it is an exciting tease for fans who have been looking forward to the series adaptation, and from what we've seen, they can expect a faithful take on the iconic novel, even with the addition of the social media elements.
What Is Prime Video's Carrie About?
Prime Video's Carrie is a bold, timely, and surprising reinvention of the classic coming‑of‑age story, adapted for television for the first time by Mike Flanagan. The series follows misfit high‑schooler Carrie White, who has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret.
After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem 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 rise alongside her adolescence.
The cast includes Summer H. Howell, Samantha Sloyan, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder, and Matthew Lillard. The recurring guest stars include Michael Trucco, Crystal Balint, Kate Siegel, Rahul Kohli, Tim Bagley, and Heather Graham.
All eight episodes of Carrie will be released on Wednesday, October 7, on Prime Video worldwide.
