The Terror: Devil in Silver, the third season of the AMC series, gets a May premiere date
Based on a novel by Dan Simmons (that you can buy HERE), the first season of the AMC series The Terror was about a doomed journey to the Arctic in the 1840s. Ordering a second season, AMC turned the show into an anthology, and season 2 told the story of a specter haunting prisoners in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Now, after a six and a half year break, the show is making a comeback with a new season called The Terror: Devil in Silver. Deadline has revealed that the third season is set to premiere on the AMC+ and Shudder streaming services on Thursday, May 7. New episodes will roll out weekly. The season will also air on AMC later this year, but Deadline did not confirm if those dates line up with the streaming dates.
Synopsis
Based on a novel by Victor LaValle (you can pick up a copy of that one HERE), The Terror: Devil in Silver is written by Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) and LaValle. The story centers on 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.
Dan Stevens (The Guest) stars as Pepper and serves as an executive producer on the season. Also in the cast are Judith Light (Before), CCH Pounder (Rustin), Aasif Mandvi (Evil), John Benjamin Hickey (The Big C), Stephen Root (Barry), Michael Aronov (The Americans), Marin Ireland (Sneaky Pete), Chinaza Uche (Silo), Hampton Fluker (Shades of Blue), b (WeCrashed), Hayward Leach (Tom Swift), and Philip Ettinger (First Reformed).
Producers
While previous seasons of The Terror had ten episode runs, this season will consist of six episodes. An AMC Studios Production, The Terror: Devil in Silver was filmed in New York and New Jersey.
In addition to Stevens, executive producers include Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, and Clayton Krueger of Scott Free Productions, Alexandra Milchan of Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady (Entertainment 360), and Brooke Kennedy, alongside series writers/showrunners Cantwell and LaValle, and Emmy nominee Karyn Kusama (Yellowjackets), who directed the first two episodes.
