Mike Flanagan's Carrie Series Ties Into Stephen King's The Dark Tower
The adaptation introduces the 'shine' and a mysterious friend named Emaline, with connections to King's wider fictional universe.
Mike Flanagan's series-length adaptation of Carrie, based on Stephen King's novel, contains connections to King's wider fictional universe that point toward The Dark Tower, according to comingsoon.net.
In the series, Carrie carries the "shine," a psychic gift that manifests as telekinesis. She is helped by a mysterious friend named Emaline, who may only exist in Carrie's mind and may also share the shine.
Survivors and a documentary crew
A documentary crew led by an unnamed filmmaker interviews survivors of Carrie's massacre and later steers Margaret toward death.
Flanagan told TV Insider that he hopes to expand Carrie's world further.
Flanagan previously adapted King's Doctor Sleep, which features ancient nomads similar to the documentary crew in Carrie.
