Mike Flanagan's CARRIE Series Casts Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White and Reveals Full Main Ensemble — GeekTyrant
Mike Flanagan's Carrie series at Amazon is officially taking shape, and the casting news just hit like a bucket of blood. Ten series regulars have been announced for the new adaptation of Stephen King's debut novel, including The Fall of the House of Usher standout Samantha Sloyan, who's stepping into the terrifying shoes of Margaret White, Carrie's ultra-religious and deeply disturbed mother. Fans of Flanagan's work will immediately recognize this as a fitting match. Sloyan has become one of the filmmaker's go-to collaborators, having appeared in The Haunting of Hill House , Midnight Mass , The Midnight Club , and even his 2016 film Hush . Sloyan joins previously announced leads Summer H. Howell ( Clouds, The Midnight Club ) as Carrie White and Siena Agudong ( F9, No Good Nick ) as Sue Snell. As for the other familiar name? Scream starMatthew Lillard will take on the role of Principal Grayle. The rest of the cast includes Alison Thornton ( Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce, School Spirits ) as Chris Hargensen, Thalia Dudek ( The Running Man, The Undertow ) as Emaline, Amber Midthunder ( Prey, Legion ) as Miss Desjardin, Josie Totah ( Saved by the Bell, The Buccaneers ) as Tina, Arthur Conti ( Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ) as Billy, and Joel Oulette ( Sullivan's Crossing, Trickster ) as Tommy. The show, which received an official eight-episode order from Amazon back in April 2025, is being described as a 'bold and timely reimagining' of King's classic horror tale. The story follows Carrie White (Howell), a sheltered teenager raised in isolation by her overbearing mother (Sloyan). When her father dies suddenly, Carrie is forced to enter public high school, where she's swept into a scandal that exposes the town's darkest tendencies and awakens something telekinetic inside her. Production is scheduled to begin soon in Vancouver. Flanagan will serve as showrunner, writer, executive producer, and is set to direct multiple episodes. Longtime producing partner Trevor Macy will also executive produce under their Intrepid Pictures banner. The show is backed by Amazon MGM Studios. Source: Variety
