AMC’s anthology series “The Terror” kicked off back in 2018 and continued with second season “The Terror: Infamy” in 2019. Five years later, “The Terror” is returning to AMC.
The next season of the AMC series is titled “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” and Deadline reports that Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail) will both star and executive produce.
The six-episode new season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.
“The Terror: Devil in Silver” tells the story of Pepper – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.
As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of The Terror: Devil in Silver,” Stevens said. “This series is a dark symphony of psychological horror and gripping drama, set to rock the audience. Victor LaValle, Christopher Cantwell, and this incredible team have crafted a unique and twisted dance of devils and shadows. I look forward to delivering something epic that will echo through the halls like an iron bell.”
The new installment will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in 2025.
Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, “Yellowjackets”) will direct the first two episodes, with Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) writing the small screen adaptation of the novel.
The first season of the supernatural drama, based on Dan Simmons’ novel and aired in 2018, was set on the frigid decks of a Victorian Era sailing ship following a doomed course, while season two, “The Terror: Infamy,” which premiered in August 2019, centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp.
