7 Nov
Summary
- Season 2 will explore other telekinetics, connecting to King's wider universe.
- Carrie's story is envisioned as a trilogy by writer-director Mike Flanagan.
- The series has been renewed for a second season on Amazon Prime Video.
The adaptation of Stephen King's "Carrie" on Amazon Prime Video has been greenlit for a second season, exciting fans and extending the narrative beyond the original novel's conclusion. Writer-director Mike Flanagan has expressed a desire to develop Carrie's story as a three-part arc, with future seasons planned.
Season 1 concluded with a dramatic and altered ending, diverging significantly from Brian De Palma's 1976 film and King's novel. The finale revealed a shadowy group of telekinetics, led by Adelaide, who manipulate events and directly impact Carrie's fate and that of her mother. This twist sets the stage for exploring other characters with telekinetic abilities in the upcoming season.
Flanagan intends to use the framework of "Carrie" to explore connections to Stephen King's larger fictional universe, hinting at a narrative that broadens the scope of telekinetic powers and their impact. While no premiere date is set, production is expected to begin soon, with a potential release in late 2027 or early 2028. Main cast members, including Summer H. Howell as Carrie, are expected to return.
