Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, the eight-episode series is a modern reimagining of Stephen King’s 1974 novel. Flanagan serves as writer, showrunner, and director on select episodes alongside producer Trevor Macy.

Carrie has been previously adapted multiple times, with this new version aiming to deliver a fresh, timely take on King’s horror classic.

Francesco Monti

Born in December, the darkest and coldest month of the year, Francesco Monti developed a passion for all things horror from an early age. A lifelong horror aficionado, his love for films, books, and the darker side of storytelling eventually led him into filmmaking, with a focus on horror, thriller, and sci-fi. In May 2022, Francesco turned that lifelong passion into GoreCulture — a platform created not only to bring horror fans closer to the films, stories, and culture they love, but to give a voice and valuable exposure to talented filmmakers, creators, and artists whose work deserves to be discovered, regardless of how established they are.
