Episode Details

When adapting a 50 year story so ingrained into our shared pop cultural consciousness, you have to begin with "Why?" 

This is the question that Mike Flanagan asked himself and answered with an exploration of the dangers facing our children in a modern world. 

Updating the threat of bullying to a 2026 reality, Mike Flanagan creates a new spin on Carrie, presenting the titular character not as a social outcast, but a sheltered, homeschool girl whose innocence leaves her woefully unprepared for the horrors of high school and the technological terrors that will soon set the community onto a destructive path of fire and blood. 

Plus, we have some seeds that will grow into a rose one day, one that may just be a tower. . .A Dark Tower if you will.
