The new small screen version of the classic Stephen King novel Carrie will debut online on Amazon Prime on October 7.

Based on the iconic Stephen King novel, this version is a bold, timely and surprising reinvention of the classic coming of age story that follows misfit high schooler Carrie White (Summer H. Howell) who has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan).

After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.

The cast includes Amber Midthunder, Matthew Lillard, Siena Agudong and Alison Thornton (among others).
