Prime Video has confirmed a series green light for an eight-episode adaptation of Stephen King’s 1974 novel Carrie, to be written and showrun by Mike Flanagan. He will also be directing select episodes for Amazon MGM Studios.

This marks Flanagan’s fourth King adaptation, following Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, and the forthcoming The Life of Chuck. Curse of Chucky actress Summer H. Howell is in negotiations to star in the titular role, with Resident Evil‘s Siena Agudong in the role of Sue Snell.

Described as “a bold and timely reimagining” of the story, the show is executive produced by Flanagan and longtime producing partner Trevor Macy. “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.”

King’s novel tells the story of a misfit high-school girl, Carrie White, who gradually discovers she has telekinetic powers. Repressed by a domineering, ultra-religious mother and tormented by her peers at school, her efforts to fit in lead to a dramatic confrontation during the senior prom. Carrie was previously adapted by Brian De Palma in 1976, David Carson in 2002, and Kimberly Peirce in 2013.

Production on the Carrie series is expected to begin in Vancouver this summer.
