Carrie: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

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 has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret. 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. Told over eight propulsive episodes, the series expands King's cultural landmark - deepening its characters and tensions, and following the small, everyday choices that build toward a single, shattering night, in a gripping, deeply human story about kindness versus cruelty, and whether we're witnessing the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated.
