Main cast of Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Carrie series

Here's the main cast of the upcoming series:

Summer H. Howell as Carrie White

The series centers on Carrie White, a timid youngster who learns she has telekinetic abilities. Carrie experiences bullying and social pressure when she first enrolls in public high school following the unexpected loss of her father.

Howell, who has acted in Hallmark movies like Cult of Chucky, adds emotional nuance and tenderness to the part. In a contemporary context, her performance will delve into Carrie's journey of self-discovery, identity, and bereavement.

Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White

Samantha Sloyan portrays Margaret White, Carrie's severe and pious mother. Sloyan is known for collaborating with showrunner Mike Flanagan on productions such as Midnight Mass and The Haunting of Hill House.

In this series, Margaret's controlling demeanor and dread of sin make Carrie's home-life tense and stressful. Sloyan's outstanding screen presence and emotional range make her an ideal choice to play this powerful and complicated character.

Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle

Carrie's high school principal, Principal Grayle, is portrayed by Matthew Lillard and he is widely renowned for his famous parts in Five Nights at Freddy's and Scream.

His role as principal is probably going to have an impact on how the school handles Carrie's difficulties and the bullying incident. Lillard is a great addition to the group because of his experience in both horror and drama.
