A new Carrie cast photo has us convinced the horror show is getting more than one season, despite being based on one of Stephen King’s shortest novels.
One of Mike Flanagan’s frequent collaborators, Michael Trucco, took to Instagram on October 30 to share the official snapshot, alongside a heartfelt caption that described the upcoming series as “something very special… and damn entertaining!”
“A very special thank you to [Mike Flanagan] for steering the ship and dreaming this all up,” Trucco added in his post. “You’re an incredible artist, Mike, and I’m lucky to be in your orbit.”
Set to be a “bold and timely reimagining of the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White”, as described by the show’s longline, it promises to explore how the telekinetic teen’s secluded life, domineering mother, and cruel peers led to the emergence of her mysterious, dangerous powers and a tragic event that shook the community.
Summer H. Howell is set to play Carrie, while Samantha Sloyan brings zealous matriarch Margaret White to life. Kate Siegel, Rahul Kohli, Katee Sackhoff, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Joel Oulette, and Matthew Lillard round out the supporting cast.
“Our last day of filming CARRIE,” Flanagan posted himself on October 25. “This has been one of the best experiences of my career, one of the very best ensembles I’ve ever worked with, and already one of my favorite projects ever. Cannot wait for you guys to see what we made.”
