Carrie White’s story is far from over! Prime Video has renewed Carrie for a second season, giving fans another reason to revisit the chilling world of Stephen King’s iconic horror story. The series premiered on October 7 and quickly made its mark, reaching No. 1 on Prime Video in more than 105 countries worldwide.
From acclaimed showrunner Mike Flanagan, Carrie stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White and Samantha Sloyan as her deeply religious, overbearing mother, Margaret White. The series follows Carrie, a bullied teenager struggling to navigate high school and life at home while discovering the terrifying power she holds within her. As her abilities grow, so does the tension surrounding her, bringing a modern perspective to a story that has haunted audiences for generations.
"Carrie is connecting with both longtime Stephen King fans and a new generation altogether — including young adults and international audiences, with particular strength among female viewers," said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. "It speaks to the enduring power of this story and signals that Mike Flanagan's reimagining of the iconic IP has real breadth. We're excited by where he and Stephen plan to take the story."
King is just as enthusiastic about the future, promising that he and Flanagan have something thrilling planned for the character.
First published in 1974, Carrie remains one of King's most recognizable stories, exploring bullying, isolation, religious fanaticism, and the devastating consequences of cruelty. With Season 2 officially happening, fans can look forward to seeing what comes next for Carrie White as Flanagan and King take this enduring horror story in a new direction.
Carrie is streaming on Prime Video.
