Mike Flanagan Rounds Out Cast for CARRIE: Kate Siegel, Katee Sackhoff, Heather Graham and More
Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Carrie for Amazon MGM Studios just got a serious talent boost. The horror filmmaker best known for The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and Doctor Sleep has added 14 recurring guest stars to the eight-episode series, including both longtime collaborators and fresh additions to his growing horror ensemble.
Among the returning Flanagan favorites are Kate Siegel, Michael Trucco, Rahul Kohli, and Katee Sackhoffall of whom appeared in projects such as The Fall of the House of Usher, Hush, and Midnight Mass.
New to Flanagan’s world this time around are Heather Graham (Chosen Family), Tim Bagley (The Perfect Couple), and Tahmoh Penikett (The Madness), alongside Mapuana Makia, Rowan Danielle, Naika Toussaint, Delainey Hayles, and Cassandra Naud.
Character details are still under wraps, but we do know Summer Howell will star as Carrie White. Siena Agudong, Matthew Lillard, Samantha Sloyan, Amber Midthunder, Josie Totah, Joel Oulette, and others round out the cast.
The new series will reimagine Stephen King’s classic 1974 debut novel about a socially isolated teenage girl with emerging telekinetic powers. But Flanagan’s version is taking a slightly different route. Following the death of her father, Carrie is thrust into the alien chaos of public high school and a scandal that fractures the community.
Flanagan is writing, executive producing, and showrunning the series, while also stepping behind the camera to direct select episodes.
