The highly acclaimed author has officially set a new horror series coming to streaming before the end of this year. Mike Flanagan is adapting King's Carrie, and while it has not yet received an official release date, it has been confirmed that the show will arrive before the end of this year, with several cast members hinting at October.
The last few years have been a roller-coaster for Stephen King fans, who have been treated to both beloved and underwhelming adaptations. One of the first retellings of King's novels that immediately comes to mind is The Running Man, which also served as a remake of the popular 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action film of the same name.
Despite the combined star power of Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, and Colman Domingo, The Running Man bombed at the box office before going on to dominate Paramount Plus. However, 2025 did bring on a beloved King adaptation with IT: Welcome to Derry, the HBO Max prequel series that earned solid scores of 80% from critics and 82% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
The first season was so well-received that HBO had no choice but to greenlight another season. Fans who weren't happy with the latest Stephen King adaptation usually don't have to wait long for the next one, and the acclaimed author has officially set a new horror series coming to streaming before the end of this year.
Mike Flanagan is adapting King's Carrie, and while it has not yet received an official release date, it has been confirmed that the show will arrive before the end of this year, with several cast members hinting at October. It will be the first Stephen King original series to stream on Prime Video since Haven, the five-season horror show loosely based on King's novel, The Colorado Kid.
Flanagan has experienced adapting King's novels, too - just last year he teamed up with Tom Hiddleston for The Life of Chuck, and back in 2019 he guided Rebecca Ferguson to one of her more underrated performances in Doctor Sleep, which is a Shining sequel
