Carrie includes a possible link to Mike Flanagan’s Dark Tower series
Mike Flanagan’s Carrie, now streaming on Prime Video, reimagines Stephen King’s story about an isolated teenager whose telekinetic powers emerge after she starts high school.
The show includes references to other works by King, whose stories sometimes share characters and details.
One small reference is to LaMerk Industries, the company Carrie’s father worked for before he died.
In The Dark Tower books, LaMerk is a metalworks company tied to forces working against the Dark Tower.
That shared name could connect the two stories, though the show presents LaMerk as a commercial real estate business.
Flanagan’s Dark Tower adaptation for Amazon was announced in 2022 and remains in development.
The reference gives viewers a possible hint of how the two King stories could be linked.
Prime Video’s Carrie includes a sign for LaMerk Industries, which Screen Rant says may hint at Mike Flanagan’s planned Dark Tower adaptation.
In the Carrie series, Carrie White’s father, Ralph, dies in a workplace accident while working on a LaMerk Industries project.
LaMerk Industries is a company in Stephen King’s Dark Tower world, where it is allied with the Crimson King and the Sombra Corporation.
Flanagan’s Carrie also includes other Stephen King references, including a mention of “the shine.”
Flanagan acquired the rights to develop a Dark Tower TV series in 2022, and the project remains in development, according to the article.
