Ridley Scott’s The Terror anthology series is returning for a new installment on AMC+ and Shudder, almost seven years after the release of its second season.
The Terror: Devil in Silver lands with six new episodes in May, executive produced by Scott, writers and showrunners Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) and Victor LaValle (The Changeling)—the author of the novel on which the season is based—and Karyn Kusama (Yellowjackets), who directs the first two episodes. AMC will also bring the show to its cable TV audiences later this year.
The cast includes Dan Stevens, also an EP, Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, and Stephen Root, among others.
“Working shoulder to shoulder with Victor LaValle to bring his masterful novel to the screen has been an incredible experience, as his story is, yes—packed with death and horror—but also brimming with beauty and the flickering-yet-unassailable light of our fragile humanity,” said Cantwell. “Our writing team expanded and enriched Victor’s pulse-pounding and profound themes, Karyn Kusama brought a brilliant cinematic eye to this very real, very frightening world, and we did it all under the accomplished, hallowed banner of Scott Free with a top-tier crew. It was a pleasure to return to my inveterate partnership with AMC, a place where, above all, characters and drama grip you tight and don’t let go. The Terror: Devil in Silver is no different, as this cast—helmed with grace and strength by Dan Stevens—imbues every one of our characters with dimension, empathy, and soul. You will love these people who very much come from your world. You will grieve with them, cheer for them, laugh with them, and of course fear for their very lives.”
“The Terror: Devil in Silver represents everything we love about this anthology—a compelling real-life setting with a veil of supernatural dread, dynamic characters brought to life through powerhouse performances, and a suspenseful, emotionally gripping story that stays with you long after the credits roll,” said Courtney Thomasma, AMC Networks’ EVP of linear and streaming products. “We’re thrilled to co-premiere this new chapter on both AMC+ and the leading horror streamer Shudder, as we bring the series to both premium drama viewers and a passionate horror fanbase. Debuting on the heels of Shudder’s annual Halfway to Halloween programming event serves as a perfect celebration of this kind of elevated genre storytelling.”
The original series became one of AMC+’s most-watched library titles following its addition to the service in 2023.
