Mike Flanagans new version of Carrie has finally come out giving horror fans a reason to stay home this October. The eight‑episode series comes from Stephen Kings 1974 novel. Summer H. Howell portrays Carrie White and Samantha Sloyan portrays Margaret White.

How to watch 'Carrie’ show for free

The new Carrie series is available now on Prime Video. New members can sign up for a 30-day free trial, which gives them access to the show without an immediate charge. After the trial ends, Prime membership costs $14.99 a month. The membership also includes other benefits, such as free two-day shipping, exclusive deals and access to shows including The Boys and Fallout, as per Rolling Stone.


There is another reason the timing may appeal to Prime shoppers. Amazon is also running its October Prime Day event, Big Deal Days. The event includes discounts across tech, home, fashion and other categories, with some deals reaching as much as 70% off.

If you only want to watch Carrie during the trial, you can cancel before the trial period ends to avoid being charged.

What is Mike Flanagan's Carrie about

The series is a new version of King's 1974 novel Carrie, which was previously turned into the well-known 1976 movie. The show stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White and Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White. Sloyan has also appeared in several of Flanagan's other projects, including The Haunting of Hill House, The Fall of the House of Usher and Midnight Mass.

Reddit users have described the new series as "unexpected and exciting," while some have praised its monologues as among the best Flanagan has "ever written."

The director also brought some familiar faces into the new project. Kate Siegel, who is also Flanagan's wife, appears in the series, as does Carla Gugino, who played the mother in Spy Kids.

For viewers looking for something new to watch this October, Carrie is available now on Prime Video. A new member can use the 30-day free trial to watch the eight-episode series before deciding whether to continue with the $14.99 monthly membership.
