Flanagan will pen the scripts for the eight-episode show and be at the helm for certain episodes. He'll also serve as executive producer.
According to Deadline , Flanagan's project 'reimagines the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White, who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father's sudden and untimely death, Carrie finds herself contending with the alien landscape of public high school, a bullying scandal that shatters her community, and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.'
As of writing, we don't have a premiere date for Carrie ; however, it's purported to debut sometime in 2026 on Prime Video.

Bruce Springsteen's Blockbuster Albums Storm The Charts Together
Bruce Springsteen is spending the summer traveling around Europe, performing dates on his Land of Hope and Dreams tour. The trek began two years ago under the name Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 2023–2025 Tour, but when he picked up the guitar again in mid-May, he later renamed the venture and brought it to the United Kingdom. Springsteen and company recently played dates in Liverpool, marking his return to the nation, and this move has spurred a buying frenzy of his catalog. Half a dozen of Springsteen's albums appear on at least one chart apiece in the U.K. this week. Four of those titles return to the rankings, becoming bestselling releases once more. Born in the USA is the only one of Springsteen's titles that returns to a sales list and appears inside the top 40. The early-career classic breaks back onto the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 35. It also lands at No. 79 on the Official Albums Sales list after not appearing on that tally at all just a few days ago. Greatest Hits also reappears on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, where it can be found at Nos. 49 and 83, respectively. At the same time, the compilation rockets from No. 80 to No. 7 on the Official Album Downloads ranking – reaching a new high point in the process. Yet another compilation, titled simply Best Of, jumps back onto both the Official Albums Streaming list and the Official Albums chart. On those tallies, the compilation can be found at Nos. 84 and 93, respectively. Springsteen's catalog is so popular that one collection of smash singles isn't enough for the nation. The River is the only one of Springsteen's comebacks that doesn't make a home on several rankings. This time around, it only reenters the Official Album Downloads chart, where it comes in at No. 72. In addition to his quartet of returning favorites, one of Springsteen's oldest projects — his breakout set Born to Run — manages to debut on the downloads-only tally. The career-making set launches at No. 92, decades after it was first unveiled to the world.

Prime Video just added a seriously funny action comedy movie starring Orlando Bloom and Bryce Dallas Howard — and you should stream it now
Prime Video is seemingly the place to be for action-comedies this summer. In the coming months, the Amazon streaming service will be home to the chaotic buddy comedy "Heads of State" and the new Eddie Murphy movie, "The Pickup." And, as of today (June 12), the streamer has added a brand-new crime comedy to the scene The movie in question is Tom Kingsley's "Deep Cover," a breezy British action-comedy that puts three improv performers — Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed — in a very precarious position. Our trio is recruited for an unorthodox operation that sees them tangling with menacing figures from London's criminal underworld... to increasingly outlandish results. Wondering whether to stream "Deep Cover" on Prime Video? Read on to get a little more info about the new arrival and a quick round-up of early reactions to the new release. "Deep Cover" is a crime comedy that throws us in with three performers from differing walks of life who find themselves taking a gig that sends them deep undercover. Down-on-her-luck improv teacher Kat (Bryce Dallas Howard) is offered a lucrative role to pretend to be a rough and ready gangster by an undercover cop (Sean Bean) who wants her to infiltrate a crew of drug dealers. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. To fulfill the mission, Kat recruits two of her students, "serious" actor, Marlon (Orlando Bloom) and hapless office worker Hugh (Nick Mohammed), and the trio sets out to impersonate dangerous criminals... and soon find their new gig spiraling way out of control. "Deep Cover" also stars Paddy Considine, Sonoya Mizuno, Ian McShane, Ben Ashenden, Alexander Owen, and Omid Djalili, among others. Having watched it myself, I'd suggest giving "Deep Cover" a shot. It's a sharply written, farcical London-set crime caper — imagine a classic, gritty Guy Ritchie watch, but amp up the absurdities, the comedy, and tone down the bad language and the violence — that offers moderate thrills, but plenty of laughs. All three of our major players are on fine form as their respective characters, but it's Orlando Bloom's turn as "serious actor" Marlon who stands out the most. Marlon's committed to his role as the gang's muscle, no matter how deep the group gets, and as such, he's responsible for some of my favorite moments of the entire film. The action sequences might not be all that exciting, but once the mission's underway, "Deep Cover" moves along at a clip, sketch-comedy style, and makes up for the so-so action with plenty of great lines.. Sprinkle in some satisfying twists and solid turns from the supporting cast, and you've got a solid watch, one that's a cut above plenty of the year's streaming originals. Need a second opinion? Well, at the time of writing, "Deep Cover" has only just been made available to stream on Prime Video, so it doesn't yet have a rating on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. However, there are already several reviews online, and evidently, I'm not the only person who enjoyed the new release. For example, Empire's Ben Travis gave the movie a 4-star review, praising the "ingenious" central conceit, writing, "Does "Deep Cover" work as an improv comedy? Yes, and it delivers strong characterisation, a twisty crime story, and great performances too. End scene." Likewise, Ready Steady Cut's Jonathon Wilson also offered a 4-star verdict, calling "Deep Cover" a "near-perfect popcorn entertainment" and describing it as "an action-comedy with okay action and really funny comedy that puts its all-star cast to work playing exaggerated pastiches of their usual screen personas." Variety critic Guy Lodge offered a more measured response, saying the movie "never quite explodes into hilarity," adding: "this knockabout farce neither dies nor kills, even as its onscreen body count ramps up: It just chugs along enthusiastically for 99 minutes, throwing about a lot of slapstick and a lot of quips, but only intermittently landing an outright laugh." So, bottom line: yes, if you're looking for a laugh or a fast-moving, silly crime comedy, you should stream "Deep Cover" on Prime Video. It's easy, fun viewing that should satisfy those looking for some daft action-comedy antics. Not sold on "Deep Cover," but still looking for something new to stream on Prime Video? We can help.
