An eight-episode series adaptation of Carrie is in the works from Stephen King and director Mike Flanagan.
The first horror novel by King, published in 1974, Carrie has spawned a film and media franchise starting with Brian De Palme’s chilling 1976 film featuring Sissy Spacek. The novel centres on Carrie White, a subdued young girl from a troubled household who faces bullying at school, and who develops telekinetic powers.
According to a report in Deadline, Flanagan will serve as showrunner on a fresh TV version of Carrie for Amazon MGM Studios. The project follows Flanagan’s recent collaboration with King on The Life of Chuck.
A writer’s room is currently being set up for the Carrie series, the report added.
The last Carrie film in theatres was Kimberly Peirce’s 2013 version, which received mixed reviews.
