Carrie cast: Full list of confirmed actors for Prime Video remake
Mike Flanagan is returning to Stephen King's horror classic.
One of Stephen King's most iconic stories is being adapted for the screen once again, with horror maestro Mike Flanagan retelling the sad and scary story of Carrie for a new generation.
The short novel follows high schooler Carrie White (to be played by relative unknown Summer Howell) as she navigates through her teenage years, while suffering abuse and humiliation from her mother and classmates alike.
The intense stress she endures manifests itself as telekinetic abilities, which rapidly grow stronger in the weeks leading up to prom night, where all hell breaks loose following a cruel prank.
The story was first adapted to great acclaim by filmmaker Brian De Palma in 1976, but critically panned versions followed in 2002 and 2013, meaning this miniseries is tasked with breaking that negative trend.
It's too soon to say whether it will succeed in that regard, but undoubtedly, Flanagan has assembled some strong talent for the project, including several key collaborators from his past projects on Netflix.
Here's your guide to Prime Video's Carrie cast – and where you might have seen them before.
