Mike Flanagan has revealed the major changes that he is going to make to his Carrie TV show adaptation that will seek to update the story. The original 1976 version is considered a horror classic and was the first of many Stephen King adaptations.

In addition to writing and showrunning the project, Flanagan will direct a selection of its eight episodes. Flanagan, who connfirmed the news on his Bluesky page today, will also executive produce alongside Trevor Macy.

Mike Flanagan has added yet another Stephen King adaptation to his list of in-the-works projects. The latest? He’s going all the way back to the beginning of the horror maestro’s literary career with Carrie.
