Mike Flanagan’s ‘Carrie’ Series Reveals Its Episode Titles, and They’re Disguised as a High School Class Schedule

Marketing rollouts for prestige horror projects have gotten increasingly creative in recent years, and Mike Flanagan’s take on one of Stephen King’s most iconic stories is no exception. Between first-look images, a chilling trailer, and a steady drip of casting reveals, the promotional campaign for this adaptation has leaned heavily into the unsettling small-town Americana that defines the source material.

Flanagan’s eight-episode limited series reimagines Carrie White’s story for a modern, social-media-saturated world, marking the character’s first-ever full television adaptation. The project has generated significant buzz since it wrapped production last October, with cast members like Katee Sackhoff teasing that fans are “in for a treat” ahead of the show’s release.

Now the episode titles themselves have been revealed in a genuinely clever bit of marketing, framed as Carrie White’s own class schedule from the fictional Ewen High School. The document lists Carrie as a member of Class 10, with each of the season’s eight episodes corresponding to a different course period: First Period, Foreign Language, Social Studies, Dramatic Arts, Physical Education, Home Economics, Romantic Literature, and AP Physics.

The series stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, alongside Samantha Sloyan as her fanatically religious mother, Margaret White. The supporting cast includes Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, and Amber Midthunder, Josie Totah, and Joel Oulette in additional roles central to the story’s expanded world.

Flanagan serves as the show’s writer, director, and showrunner, personally directing four of the season’s eight episodes while Stephen King himself signed on as an executive producer. This marks Flanagan’s fourth King adaptation following ‘Gerald’s Game,’ ‘Doctor Sleep,’ and ‘The Life of Chuck,’ continuing a creative partnership that’s become one of the more reliably acclaimed pairings in modern horror television.

The class schedule framing device fits neatly into the show’s broader thematic approach, using the mundane structure of a school day, complete with subjects like Dramatic Arts and Romantic Literature, to build a sense of dread around Carrie’s isolated, tightly controlled existence before everything eventually spirals out of control.

All eight episodes of ‘Carrie’ will premiere simultaneously on Prime Video on October 7, 2026, releasing globally across more than 240 countries and territories. That all-at-once release pattern breaks from the weekly rollout format that’s become increasingly common for prestige streaming dramas, instead offering fans a full binge-watch experience right out of the gate.

The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios alongside Flanagan’s own Intrepid Pictures and Red Room Pictures banners. With the original 1976 film adaptation remaining the most-viewed version of King’s novel as it approaches its 50th anniversary, Flanagan’s television reimagining arrives with plenty riding on its ability to bring something genuinely new to one of horror’s most enduring stories.

Between the eerie class-schedule reveal and the stacked ensemble cast, this latest marketing beat continues building anticipation for what’s shaping up to be one of the fall’s most closely watched horror releases. With the countdown to October 7 now firmly underway, fans finally have a clearer picture of how Carrie White’s senior year is going to unfold.
