Development

In December 2019, Collider reported that a new adaptation, a miniseries, was in development at FX and MGM Television.^[2] In December 2022, Mike Flanagan signed a first-look overall TV deal with Amazon Studios.^[3] In October 2024, it was announced that Flanagan's first project under that deal would be a new adaptation of Stephen King's novel Carrie, in the form of an eight episode miniseries, at Amazon Prime Video. A writers' room was launched to flesh out the story. Flanagan had previously helmed adaptations of King's novels including Gerald's Game (2017), Doctor Sleep (2019), and The Life of Chuck (2024).^[4] Around this time, Flanagan pitched with Matt Reeves a Clayface film to James Gunn and Peter Safran for the DC Universe (DCU), which he developed and wrote, but when it came time to make it and they wanted to make the film right away, Flanagan was unavailable because his schedule was filled with his commitments to Carrie, so for the first time in his career, Flanagan let a project he was passionate with go and allowed Gunn and Safran to hire someone else to replace him on the directing hair, resulting in James Watkins being hired to direct Clayface (2026) while he took care of Carrie.^[5]
