CARRIE Interviews with Mike Flanagan, Summer H. Howell, Samantha Sloyan, Amber Midthunder, Matthew Lillard, Alison Thornton, Josie Totah, Joel Oulette, and Arthur Conti

All eight episodes of the highly-anticipated Carrie series are now available on Prime Video, and I got to catch up with Mike Flanagan and much of the main cast during a recent press day. From discussions on Mike Flanagan's approach to updating the material for the modern day to hearing from Summer H. Howell about stepping into the iconic role of Carrie, check out my interviews below to hear about everyone's experience working on the new series.

"Based on Stephen King’s iconic debut novel, Carrie is a bold, timely, and surprising reinvention of this classic coming‑of‑age story, adapted for television for the first time by visionary showrunner Mike Flanagan. Misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer H. Howell) has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.

Told over eight propulsive episodes, the series expands King’s cultural landmark by deepening its characters and tensions and following the small, everyday choices that build toward a single, shattering night. It’s a gripping, deeply human story about kindness versus cruelty, and whether we’re witnessing the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated."
