Look: 'Carrie' photos introduce Summer Howell as horror icon

July 13 (UPI) -- Prime Video is giving a glimpse of the new series Carrie.

The streaming service shared first-look photos for the show Monday featuring Summer Howell as the horror icon.

Based on the Stephen King novel, Carrie reimagines the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White (Howell), who has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan).

"After her father's sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social-media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence," an official synopsis reads.

Other cast members include Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Josie Totah as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.

Carrie is written, showrun and executive produced by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House), with King also serving as an executive producer.

Season 1 will consist of eight episodes and premiere on Prime Video in the fall.

King's Carrie was previously adapted as a 1976 film starring Sissy Spacek as Carrie and Piper Laurie as Carrie's mother.
