Prime Video and director Mike Flanagan have released a teaser trailer and confirmed the release date for their new television adaptation of Stephen King's *Carrie*, unveiled ahead of the show's panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The eight-episode series expands on King's original 1974 novel about a bullied teenager who discovers she has telekinetic powers, and marks the first time the story has been adapted specifically for television.

All eight episodes will premiere on Prime Video on 7 October, with new key art referencing the story's infamous bloody prom scene also released. Summer Howell stars as Carrie White, alongside Samantha Sloyan as her mother Margaret, with a supporting cast including Matthew Lillard and Amber Midthunder. Flanagan serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer, directing four episodes himself, while King is also an executive producer on the Amazon MGM Studios production.
