\n\tThe first season of Carrie<\/a> on Prime Video<\/a> told the story of Stephen King<\/a>\u2018s debut novel, albeit updated to the present day. The show, however, is not stopping there.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrime Video has renewed Carrie for a second season and will continue to follow Carrie White (Summer H. Howell<\/a>) after the fateful events of prom night. The pickup is a pretty fast one, coming two weeks after season one\u2019s Oct. 7 premiere. Prime Video says the series was No. 1 on the Amazon-owned streamer in more than 100 territories in its first two weeks. <\/p>\n

\n\tMike Flanagan<\/a>, who adapted King\u2019s novel, will continue as showrunner and executive producer in season two. King is also an exec producer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCarrie is connecting with both longtime Stephen King fans and a new generation altogether \u2014 including young adults and international audiences, with particular strength among female viewers,\u201d said Peter Friedlander, head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios. \u201cIt speaks to the enduring power of this story and signals that Mike Flanagan\u2019s reimagining of the iconic IP has real breadth. We\u2019re excited by where he and Stephen plan to take the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason one follows the sheltered Carrie as she enters public high school following her father\u2019s death, but still under the extremely watchful eye of her mother (Samantha Sloyan). \u201cCarrie 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,\u201d the logline reads.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor 50 years, audiences have known and gravitated to Carrie White\u2019s story. From the beginning, we imagined a story that goes far beyond the prom, and I\u2019m incredibly grateful for Stephen\u2019s trust and support in exploring what comes next,\u201d said Flanagan.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded King, \u201cI can\u2019t wait for audiences to get to see what\u2019s down the road for Carrie White. Mike Flanagan and I are excited about what comes next. It\u2019s bound to be thrilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe season one cast also includes Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder and Matthew Lillard. Kate Siegel, Michael Trucco, Crystal Balint , Rahul Kohli, Tim Bagley and Heather Graham had recurring roles<\/p>\n

\n\tFlanagan and King executive produced season one with Trevor Macy. Flanagan also directed four of the first season\u2019s eight episodes; Siegel, Axelle Carolyn, Kyra Sedgwick and Hiromi Kamata directed as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first season of Carrie on Prime Video told the story of Stephen King\u2018s debut novel, albeit updated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":942808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,113976,75,14521,1912,19657,80860,348],"class_list":["post-942807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-carrie","tag-entertainment","tag-mike-flanagan","tag-prime-video","tag-stephen-king","tag-summer-h-howell","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=942807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/942808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=942807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=942807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=942807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
