- Prime Video ordered a second season; Mike Flanagan developed the series from the novel.
- The first season premiered October 7 and quickly reached No. 1 on Prime Video.
- The first season spans eight episodes but changes the novel’s story in several major and minor ways.
- The season finale closes the familiar story; therefore, the continuation would need to move beyond King’s original narrative.
I can’t wait for audiences to get to see what’s down the road for Carrie White. Mike Flanagan and I are excited about what comes next. It’s bound to be thrilling.— Stephen King, in a statement about Carrie Season 2; King teases what comes next.
