The entire town is bullying Carrie in first full-length trailer

Carrie—both Stephen King’s novel and the various adaptations that have followed it—is generally held up as one of the most enduring horror stories of the 20th century. But beyond that, it’s also a tragedy, as the full trailer for Prime Video’s new Carrie series, from showrunner Mike Flanagan, reminds. Just look how excited Carrie White (Summer H. Howell) is go to to public school with everyone else in Chamberlain, Maine. Look at her lovely joie de vivre as she mashes keys on the computer—perhaps the first time she’s ever used one, given the fundamentalist streak of her mother Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). Of course, that digital joy will not last for long, as the rest of the trailer makes clear. 

As we expected from the previous Carrie teases, this Gen Z (Gen Alpha?) take on Carrie has her dealing with the harsh realities of being a teen in 2026, like having an Instagram parody account made about you after you have an embarrassing moment in gym class. And while other adaptations, like Brian De Palma’s 1976 film, had only a couple of hours to take Carrie from a mousy outcast to the kind of person who would massacre a whole town, the series’ extended runtime of eight episodes suggests that there’ll be plenty of time for Carrie’s resentment to grow until it explodes. 

Carrie premieres on Prime Video on October 7. Check out the full trailer below.
