New Carrie series sparks casting backlash

Amazon Prime Video's eight-part Carrie adaptation from Mike Flanagan premieres next week, drawing criticism over its casting of Summer H Howell as a conventionally attractive Carrie White. Fans say the series departs from Stephen King's novel, where Carrie is described as plain and far angrier. The show also adds major changes, including Carrie being newly home-schooled.
