Here's everything you need to know about the first ever series adaptation of Carrie, which is out now on Prime Video.

What is 'Carrie' about?

Misfit high-schooler Carrie White has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret.
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, deepening its characters and tensions. It follows the small, everyday choices that build toward a single, shattering night, in 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.
