‘Carrie’ Release Date: How Mike Flanagan’s Remake Differs From the Horror Classic

Here's when to watch Mike Flanagan's horror remake and how the show builds on the Stephen King classic.

Get ready, because another Stephen King classic is getting a redesign. Carrie, King’s breakout hit, has seen multiple adaptations (including a stage musical). Now, it’s coming to streaming as an eight-episode limited series and present-day horror hit-maker Mike Flanagan is running the show.

The series, much like the original Brian De Palma movie, follows the unfortunate tale of a young woman named Carrie White. If you’re completely unfamiliar with the story, Carrie is a sheltered girl who is subjected to the cruelty of the world (and high school). And, oh yeah, she has psychic powers.

Taking the reins from Sissy Spacek, who starred as Carrie in the original 1976 movie, is Summer H. Howell. Joining her in the cast is Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, Arthur Conti as Billy, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell and Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen.

If you’re expecting this iteration of Carrie to be a retread of previous adaptations, you’re in for a surprise. The horror series (which Flanagan plans to last for three seasons) unveils new dimensions to the story, expands the world and exposes unseen character details that’ll have you rethinking the whole King narrative.

But, before I get into all of that, let’s talk about how you can watch season 1 of Carrie.
