The Prime Video series based on Stephen King’s novel is set to begin filming in mid-June. Mike Flanagan, who is steering Prime Video’s upcoming Carrie series, says the production looked at more than a thousand submissions for the lead role before deciding on Summer Howell.

The showrunner of the Stephen King series says that Summer Howell's Carrie is "unlike anything that anyone's ever done with the part before."

Mike Flanagan will adapt the latest take on Stephen King's Carrie, which will be an eight-episode Prime Video series.
