Prime Video has renewed its adaptation of Stephen King’s novel “Carrie” for a second season, just two weeks after the series arrived. Created by Mike Flanagan, the first season runs for eight episodes and reimagines King’s story by shifting its setting 50 years into the future. That change is among several liberties the adaptation takes with the source material. The renewal comes despite mixed reactions from fans, who have shared criticism and differing opinions online. The decision has been linked to the show’s streaming performance, though no specific viewing figures are available here. Details about the second season remain limited. There has also been discussion about which other Stephen King novels might be connected to or involved in the next season. The series is streaming on Prime Video.
