It wouldn’t really be a Mike Flanagan series without a whole passel of actors who have been in previous Mike Flanagan productions, would it? Carrie, it turns out, is no exception to this rule. Deadline has the news that no less than 14 recurring stars have been added to the show, which announced its main cast—including Flanagan regular Samantha Sloyan—earlier this month.
Returning to the Flanagan ensemble are:Crystal Balint (Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Midnight Club)Danielle Klaudt (The Fall of the House of Usher)Katee Sackhoff (Oculus)Kate Siegel (most Flanagan projects)Michael Trucco (Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Life of Chuck)Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Fall of the House of Usher, the latter pictured above)
Then we get to the list of new arrivals to the Flanaganverse: Tim Bagley (Somebody Somewhere), newcomer Rowan Danielle, Heather Graham (Boogie Nights), Delainey Hayles (Interview with the Vampire), Mapuana Makia (Doogie Kamealoha M.D.), Cassandra Naud (See), Tahmoh Penikett (Battlestar Galactica), and Naika Toussaint (Under the Bridge).
For those keeping track at home, that’s three major Battlestar Galactica actors in one new series.
No character details have been announced yet. According to Deadline, “Flanagan’s series reimagines the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White, who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father’s sudden and untimely death, Carrie finds herself contending with the alien landscape of public high school, a bullying scandal that shatters her community, and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.”
In a recent Variety interview, Flanagan discussed his working relationship with Carrie novelist Stephen King, saying that at first, both men’s reaction to the idea of another adaptation was basically, “Why?” But Flanagan eventually came up with an idea—a very mysterious idea—that intrigued King enough to say yes to the project.
No premiere date has been announced for the show.[end-mark]
