Michael Trucco

Katie's been saying she saved his character-

So I have taken credit for Michael Trucco coming back on the show my entire

life.

By doing what? That line where she says...

But I personally think like Emmeline is one of the people like just from there, keeping an eye on Carrie at the school.

And I think all of those people, because Sue in the interview says, all those people at the prom that were strangers like who were they and i think that's what it's going to be but in general top level thoughts always good to be with our flanagan crew you've got kate siegel interviewing all these people we've got michael truca michael trucco crystal Belen, Samantha Sloyan killing it as the mom.

I know you guys haven't seen any of the adaptations, but the 1970s mom is horrific in every scene.

There's not one moment where you could possibly give her any like benefit of the doubt.

She's getting into college.

She can't go.

Her dad, Michael Trucco's character, is not being very empathetic to her situation.

Her mom, even in that scene, is seemingly just kind of being like, get with it or get lost, girl.

I'd have played Anders.

Trucco.

Michael Trucco.

Oh.

yeah so i asked someone about it and i said i'm not really into horror and they're like yeah well you know that the the prom scene's coming but the episodes leading up to it really aren't horror it's actually a good story so

definitely so you mentioned like the home life earlier also you know like how important was it learning about her family and what she was dealing with and then you kind of figure out okay this is why she's acting like this too

That was a huge anchor for me, seeing Michael Trucco's performances as John Hargensen and just seeing how cold he is to her and how every conversation that she overhears him having, he's like yelling at someone or berating someone and then and like.

trying to win at all costs so kind of seeing her home life and um just yeah the lack of of love in her house made her world view make a lot more sense to me um and yeah once again it's like she's losing her emotional support at home she's losing her um emotional support and sue who in my mind sue has always been kind of the parent in chris's life

and the person

After her father's sudden untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of the public high school, uh, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social media age and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.

The series is written and directed by Mike Flanagan and stars Summer H. Howell, Samantha Sloyan, Sienna Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Ouellette, Josie Tota, Arthur Conti, Talia Dudek, Amber Midthunder, Matthew Lillard, Heather Graham, Kate Siegel, Michael Trucco, Rowan Danielle, Rahul Kohli, and Tim Bagley.

All eight episodes of Carrie will be streaming exclusively on Prime Video in the US and Canada on October 7th, 2026.

Let's dive in here.

And after he dies, the debt that his father owes gets put onto him and his friends.

And me, Cynthia K. McWilliams, who plays my wife, Michael Trucco, who plays the cop, we're all friends.

And we wind up getting wrapped up into this whole thing.

And so the first season takes place in Pittsburgh.

Um, my amazing partner Malcolm Barrett, who plays my husband on the show.

Um, and also, uh, Michael Trucco and an incredible group of people that I think have made some really, uh, dynamic television that's streaming on Paramount Plus right now.

Yeah.

I'm also an executive producer.
