Mike Flanagan's "Carrie" TV Series Cast Revealed

Mike Flanagan‘s Amazon Prime Video series adaptation of “Carrie” has rounded out its main cast.

Summer Howell (Curse of Chucky), who was reported to be in talks back in April, will play the titular horror teen Carrie White. Matthew Lillard (Five Nights at Freddy’s) was also previously reported to be cycling the role of Principal Grayle in May and has now closed on the role.

The new cast also includes Samantha Sloyan (The Fall of the House of Usher) as Carrie’s mom, Margaret White, Alison Thornton (Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce) as Chris Hargensen, Thalia Dudek (The Running Man) as Emaline, Siena Agudong (Sidelined: The QB and Me) as Sue Snell, Amber Midthunder (FX’s Legion) as Miss Desjardin, Josie Totah (AppleTV+’s The Buccaneers) as Tina, Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) as Billy, and Joel Oulette (Sullivan’s Crossing) as Tommy.

The series was first reported to be in development in October 2024.

Amazon has ordered eight episodes, with production slated to begin this summer in Vancouver.

Flanagan, a modern horror maestro, is set as executive producer, showrunner, writer, and will direct select episodes of the series. Trevor Macy will executive produce. Amazon MGM Studios will produce.

Based on Stephen King’s debut novel of the same name, the series is described as a “bold and timely reimagining of the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White (Howell), who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father’s sudden and untimely death, Carrie finds herself contending with the alien landscape of public high school, a bullying scandal that shatters her community, and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.”

King’s novel has been previously adapted for the big screen, with Sissy Spacek playing Carrie in the 1976 Brian De Palma movie "Carrie", and Chloë Grace Moretz in the 2013 remake.

The role marks the latest collaboration between Sloyan and Flanagan, as she has previously starred in his shows “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Midnight Club,” and “Midnight Mass.” Sloyan also appeared in Flangan’s 2016 film “Hush.”
