The next adaptation of a Stephen King classic by horror director Mike Flanagan might be hitting screens at a fittingly spooky time, as one of its stars has hinted at its release window.

Katee Sackhoff, known for her role as Bo-Katan Kryzein in the Star Wars universe, shared this news at Fan Expo Vancouver, as reported by an outlet.

“Back to Mike Flanagan, yeah… the Flanniverse… October of 2026, Carrie comes out on Amazon. You guys are in for a treat. It’s very good. It’s very good,” she mentioned.

Details about Flanagan’s Carrie series are still under wraps, but it’s based on King’s iconic novel. The story follows teenager Carrie, who turns prom into a nightmare due to relentless bullying.

Summer Howell will portray Carrie White, with Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle. Samantha Sloyan will take on the role of Carrie’s mother, Margaret, alongside a cast that includes Alison Thornton, Chris Hargensen, Thalia Dudek, Siena Agudong, Amber Midthunder, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, and Joel Oulette.

“I mean, it’s Carrie. There’s fire? … There might be some blood,” Sackhoff teased at the convention. “Yeah, I’m just excited. You guys are gonna love it. Mike Flanagan is so good at what he does: smart, psychological horror.”

She added: “And he’s very, very good at adapting Stephen King, and Stephen trusts him. As you can see in the press, Stephen’s giving him his entire library. He’s like, ‘You can do this one and you can do this one. How about this one? How about this one?'”

Flanagan has previously adapted works like Doctor Sleep and The Life of Chuck, and he’s currently working on an adaptation of The Dark Tower, which he recently stated is “moving. We’ve got a lot of scripts done for it. It’s the first priority.”
