Katee Sackhoff announced at Fan Expo Vancouver that Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's 'Carrie' will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in October 2026. This new version, teased as a departure from previous adaptations, is highly anticipated, especially given Flanagan's reputation for smart, psychological horror and the novel's iconic status.
Carrie remains an iconic Stephen King novel because it was the first one he ever published. The way the author describes it, he threw the entire manuscript in the trash can because he didn’t think it worked, so his wife pulled it out, read it, and told him to keep working on it.

It’s very good.”, Sackhoff said she couldn’t say anything about the actual story. She added a little more, but it was just generic explanations of things Stephen King fans already knew. “I mean, it’s ‘Carrie.’ There’s fire? … There might be some blood,” Sackhoff said. “Yeah, I’m just excited. You guys are gonna love it. Mike Flanagan is, so good at what he does: smart, psychological horror.”Mike Flanagan has already said that this will not be what fans of the movies might expect to see. The first Carrie movie came out in 1976, with Sissy Spacek playing Carrie and Piper Laurie playing her cruel mother, Margaret. Brian De Palma released this only two years after the book’s publication. A sequel came out in 1999 that was critically derided, called) and then a remake in 2013 with Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie and Julianne Moore as her mother.story for a new generation seems like a big win.
