Amazon Prime Video releases first-look images for “Carrie,” a TV adaptation of Stephen King’s novel developed by Mike Flanagan. Multiple outlets report that the project was first publicly reported in October 2024, and that Amazon later officially moved it forward by greenlighting an eight-episode miniseries in April 2025. The new series is described as a reimagining of King’s 1974 story, and sources note that it represents the first time the novel is adapted as a television series. Coverage also frames the project as part of Flanagan’s ongoing work with King material, following his previous adaptations. In the first-look materials discussed by outlets, the emphasis is on introducing the main cast and setting the tone for the miniseries. Gizmodo also comments on a specific detail from the first images, stating that they do not include the novel’s or earlier film adaptations’ iconic pig’s blood element. Across the reports, the consensus is that Prime Video is bringing the “Carrie” story to television as an eight-episode limited series releasing in the fall, with the first images serving as an early preview of the production and its characters.
