Prime Video has renewed its series adaptation of Stephen King’s 'Carrie' for a second season, just two weeks after the show's October 7 debut. Developed and executive produced by Mike Flanagan, the series stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White. While the first season covered the events of King’s 1974 novel in a modern-day setting, the second season is set to continue the story beyond the book's original conclusion.
