A “Carrie” TV series is currently in development at Amazon with Mike Flanagan adapting the classic novel from Stephen King…

Mike Flanagan is staying in the Stephen King business.

The prolific writer and director, who has adapted numerous works from King in the past including his next film “The Life of Chuck” as well as past movies such as “Gerald’s Game” and “Doctor Sleep,” is now developing a new TV series based on “Carrie” — the classic horror novel first released in 1974.

Flanagan is developing the series at Amazon MGM Studios where he has an overall deal and if the show gets picked up, it would air on Amazon Prime Video. Flanagan would serve as showrunner and executive producer alongside his longtime producing partner Trevor Macy from Intrepid Pictures.

The adaptation is described as a “bold and timely reimagining” of the classic story from King, which revolved around a shy, reclusive high schooler named Carrie White, who suffers under the ilk of her domineering mother, while dealing with severe bullying at school after girls torment her when she gets her first period following gym class but has no idea what’s happening to her thanks to her mother refusing to acknowledge anything sexually related. As time passes, Carrie begins to develop telekinetic abilities that eventually grow in power as her emotions spiral out of control.

Of course, “Carrie” has been adapted numerous times in the past — most famously with Brian De Palma’s 1976 film starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, who both received Academy Award nominations for their performances. Several more adaptations have followed but none found the same level of success critically or commercially as De Palma’s original film.

Now Flanagan takes a stab at “Carrie” with a series adaptation after previously finding success with his work on shows such as “The Haunting of Hill House” and “Midnight Mass” at Netflix.
