‘Carrie’ Shows Off Its New Take on the Hell of High School in First Teaser Trailer
Mike Flanagan has a proven track record of creating genuinely scary horror series (his long run at Netflix included The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass) as well as acclaimed Stephen King adaptations. So it wasn’t exactly the biggest shock to hear that his first project after signing a deal with Amazon Studios would be a series based on King’s first published novel, Carrie. Carrie has been adapted before, most notably by Brian De Palma in the 1976 film featuring an iconic lead performance by Sissy Spacek.

Carrie has been adapted before, most notably by Brian De Palma in the 1976 film featuring an iconic lead performance by Sissy Spacek. But Flanagan has long been promising a fresh take that won’t simply repurpose what’s come before.
