Stephen King’s “Carrie” is getting a new Prime Video series from Mike Flanagan, but fans are already divided—especially over casting Summer Howell as Carrie, sparking debate about whether adaptations should stay true to the book’s depiction of her as a “chunky girl” whose weight is central to her torment. Critics argue that past adaptations, including Sissy Spacek’s 1976 classic and Chloë Grace Moretz’s 2013 remake, missed this key element, and question why another version is needed if it won’t honor the source material. Online backlash is mounting, with fans demanding authenticity—or at least a reason to care. The series drops this fall, and the conversation is already heating up.
