Carrie is becoming a TV series.

Director Mike Flanagan and Stephen King are collaborating on an 8-episode series for Amazon, according to Deadline.

Brian De Palma was the first to adapt the novel about a young sheltered girl with a domineering mother whose bullying caused carnage with her hidden hyperkinetic powers. Sissy Spacek played the title character. The movie was followed by 2002′s The Rage: Carrie 2, and a 2013 remake that starred Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.

Here’s a synopsis of the book: “Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother’s religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she’s kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she’s finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates’ vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover.”

“They’re opening a writer’s room, so this one’s happening quickly,” Deadline notes.
