2 mins readProduction has officially wrapped on the upcoming eight-episode series adaptation of the 1974 novel Carrie by Stephen King, now in development at Prime Video under filmmaker Mike Flanagan. The news was confirmed by Flanagan himself in an Instagram post on October 24, where he wrote that it was the last day of filming and called it one of the best experiences of his career.
Filming marks the completion of a significant chapter in bringing this story to life for a new generation. The director of episode 104, Axelle Carolyn, had previously shared her excitement about wrapping that episode earlier in the month, praising Flanagan’s vision and script.
The series is described as a bold and timely reimagining of the classic story, focusing on the social pressures and isolation faced by Carrie White while introducing contemporary elements that connect to today’s audience. The cast features Summer H. Howell as Carrie White and Samantha Sloyan as her devout mother, Margaret White.

The project is written and executive produced by Mike Flanagan, known for his work on The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep.
Completing filming is a major milestone, signaling the series’ move into post-production, where editing, scoring, and visual effects begin to take shape. It also indicates that Prime Video is likely preparing for the next stage of promotion, which may include trailers, official photos, and a premiere date announcement in the near future. With filming now complete, fans can expect the first teaser trailer and more behind-the-scenes insights soon.
The conclusion of filming on Carrie marks a major moment for the creative team. Mike Flanagan’s October 24 Instagram post confirms that the project is now headed into post-production, setting the stage for Prime Video’s next big horror release. With its strong cast, thoughtful adaptation, and renewed vision of a timeless story, this new version of Carrie is one fans will be watching closely.
