Carrie Soundtrack Season 1 (2026) Guide

Carrie

Amazon Prime Video 7.5 Mystery | Drama 2026

In this bold, modern reimagining of Stephen King’s classic horror novel directed by master of horror Mike Flanagan, Carrie follows Carrie White (Summer H. Howell), a sheltered high school outcast struggling to cope with the sudden death of her father and the stifling control of her domineering mother. Thrust into a 21st-century public high school, Carrie is subjected to relentless bullying that amplifies in the modern age of smartphones and social media. As the psychological abuse reaches a fever pitch, she begins to unleash dangerous, newly discovered telekinetic powers, setting off a terrifying chain of events that builds toward a bloody, infamous climax.

Horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass) brings a modern edge to Stephen King’s classic story in Amazon Prime Video’s eight-part series Carrie. Starring Summer H. Howell as the telekinetic high school outcast Carrie White and Samantha Sloyan as her domineering mother Margaret, this adaptation updates the tragedy for the social media era. Driven by schoolyard cruelty, online rumors, and sudden supernatural outbursts, the music sets a tense, claustrophobic tone that builds straight toward the infamous prom night disaster.

Carrie pairs quiet indie ballads with gritty alternative rock and nostalgic 80s new wave. Standout needle drops across the episodes include Wolf Alice's haunting 'In the Bleak Midwinter,' AURORA's 'Through the Eyes of a Child,' A Flock of Seagulls' classic 'I Ran (So Far Away),' K.Flay's hard-hitting 'High Enough,' and Conan Gray's 'Lonely Dancers.' Amplifying the tension is the original score by Flanagan’s longtime collaborators The Newton Brothers (Doctor Sleep, The Fall of the House of Usher), using discordant strings and distorted vocal variations to mirror Carrie's unraveling mind.
