The Terror returns to AMC in 2025 with The Terror: Devil in Silver, and will feature episodes directed by Karyn Kusama.
The Terror: Devil in Silver Plot Details
The anthology horror show will get a third season next year. The new season is based on the celebrated novel by Victor LaValle.
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 that thrives on the
suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live
inside him.
”This series is at once a grounded and real story of a man encountering those forgotten by the world and those he has neglected himself, all while arriving at a life-or-death crossroads where he must face the Devil without and within… and what does victory look like in a world of broken systems, and preyed upon people?” Said executive producer Chris Cantwell, ”What kind of hero is needed? I am thrilled to be returning to AMC and honored to be working with a writer like Victor. We are looking forward to scaring the living daylights out of all of you very soon.”
“I am absolutely thrilled to be joining Victor LaValle and Christopher Cantwell on the mind-
bending, heart-wrenching journey that is The Terror: Devil in Silver,” said Kusama, who has plenty of horror experience having directed films such as Jennifer’s Body and The Invitation as well as shows The Outsider and Dead Ringers. “They’ve created a tale that is both genuinely terrifying and satisfyingly emotional, anchored by unforgettable characters. It’s an honor to help bring this special story to life.”
Previous seasons of The Terror have focused on a British naval expedition stuck in the ice while searching for the Northwest Passage and events in a Japanese internment camp during World War II.
