The series will follow misfit high-schooler Carrie White, who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father's sudden death, Carrie finds herself contending with the challenges of attending high school, a bullying scandal and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.
The cast will include Summer H. Howell (Hunter Hunter, Channel Zero) as Carrie White; and Siena Agudong (Star Falls, Resident Evil) as her nemesis, Sue Snell.
Mike Flanagan developed the series and will serve as showrunner and director. He will also executive produce with Trevor Macy. Amazon MGM Studios and Intrepid Pictures will produce.
