The blood-heavy Stephen King classic “Carrie” is being developed into a limited series for FX and MGM Television.
Collider has the news, reporting that it’s still very early in the development process and there’s no script yet. There’s also word that the titular character Carrie White will likely be played by either a trans performer or an actress of colour, rather than a cis white woman, as in past adaptations.
“Carrie”, which was a 1974 novel by King, has been adapted several times – including a 1976 film starring Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, and a very young John Travolta – this was also followed up with a sequel in 1999. More recently, there was an adaptation starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore by director Kimberly Peirce in 2013.
