Carrie will return for Season 2 after a renewal from Prime Video.

Based on Stephen King’s iconic debut novel. Carrie is a bold, timely, and surprising reinvention of this classic coming of age story, adapted for television for the first time by visionary showrunner Mike Flanagan.

Misfit high schooler Carrie White (Summer Howell) 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.

Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios had this to say about the decision:

“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. 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.”

The show topped Prime Video’s weekly global TV series rankings, hitting number 1 in over 105 countries worldwide.

Mike Flanagan serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner of Carrie and directed four episodes in Season 1. Flanagan and Stephen King serve as executive producers. Production on Carrie took place in Vancouver and ran from 16 June 2025 through to 17 October 2025. Shooting took place at the Bridge Studios Sound Stage.
