Mark Hamill's Shocking Carrie Series Cameo Revealed

Mark Hamill made a surprise, secret appearance in the new Carrie series, premiering on Prime Video on October 7, 2026. The Star Wars icon played a fortune teller in episode six, a role that required significant disguise, rendering him nearly unrecognizable. Showrunner Mike Flanagan shared that Hamill was enthusiastic about joining for a half-day shoot and specifically requested his cameo be kept confidential.

Flanagan, who has collaborated with Hamill on multiple projects, expressed his admiration for the actor, calling him an exception to the common industry saying, 'never meet your heroes.' This new series is a reinvention of Stephen King's classic tale, featuring Summer H. Howell as Carrie White. Flanagan emphasized that the adaptation was made with deep respect for the original material and with King's full support.
