Horror maestro Stephen King has publicly endorsed Mike Flanagan's latest adaptation of "Carrie," an eight-episode limited series on Prime Video. King declared Flanagan "the best adapter of my work" in a recent video. This praise signifies a significant endorsement, especially given King's fondness for the 1976 film adaptation.
Flanagan's series updates King's 1974 novel, making creative choices to expand the narrative and modernize the story of Carrie White. King was reportedly involved in shaping how the story would evolve beyond its original novel, a testament to his strong working relationship with Flanagan.
This collaboration marks another successful project between King and Flanagan, following previous adaptations. King's video on October 9, 2026, not only lauded the "Carrie" series but also hinted at another "really special" project in the works, although details remain scarce.
