The Terror: Devil in Silver Official Trailer | Feat. Dan Stevens | Coming to AMC+ & Shudder May 7

First thing I ever saw him in and now I’ll watch him in anything. Phenomenal movie. He was great in Abigail as well.

The Guest is my favorite John Carpenter movie 😉

Legion on FX baby

Apostle is one of my fav horror films, entirely because he's in it 

AMC want that American Horror Story vibe. I don't know why they didn't just relaunch it as a new anthology series and keep The Terror (s1) as a separate show. Really bizarre marketing decision.

This one is based on the book by the same name by Victor LaValle but is even less rooted in history than season 2 was.

Because the seasons gonna end with Crozier kicking in the door of the asylum and saving him

The Terror is a great name. AMC owns it. Instead of letting it go to waste after a single season, why not see if you can build a brand with an horror anthology series? I don't think it's all that hard to understand. The name works for a scary show even if it was originally about a ship. The name "The Terror" was always doing double duty anyway, even back to when it was the title of the book.

Channel Zero was a lie too. It was on channel 50 for me.

yes! I mean, I get the word "Terror" has an appeal, but also..it was the name of the damn ship!

“The Terror” works just fine as a horror anthology title lol

AMC’s whole schtick is to try to turn anything remotely successful into a franchise. There’s a billion *Walking Dead* spin-offs, they apparently tried to convince Matthew Weiner to give them permission to make a Sally Draper show, and they actually convinced Vince Gilligan to make *Better Call Saul*. Even *Halt and Catch Fire* started as an attempt to have more *Mad Men*, before turning into its own great thing. I treat most new seasons on anthologies as a brand new show, especially when they change writers between installments. I haven’t seen season 2 of *The Terror*, but between Dan Stevens, Stephen Root and Christopher Cantwell, I’m actually looking forward to this.

Maybe there are rights issues at play, but what’s odd to me is that if you wanted to do a horror anthology spinning off of The Terror, there are several other Dan Simmons books you could adapt. That would be far less bizarre than just using the title for a bunch of completely unrelated shows.

It's like Cloverfield just have some random spooky show and throw the terror name on it to get some eyes on it

Brand awareness. Studios think the masses are that stupid which they are. So it makes for lame, boring and inconsistent titles

The TV show Fargo barely involves Fargo.

Reminds me of the Cloverfield "universe": three horror movies which have nothing to do with each other.

Because it wasn’t an anthology. The first season is a damn masterpiece (although massively underseen) and has absolutely nothing to do with the second, they just had a new show that wasn’t very good and tried to retrofit it because anthologies were all the rage

So there are two other unrelated seasons? Are they worth watching?

Thank you!

No source material for series two? You mean apart from the real life fact that 120000 Japanese American men, women and children were locked up in internment camps in US? And the series used now vintage actors who as children were victims of this injustice.

Well, the third season is also named after the book it's based on. As for "The Terror", the good thing about the title is that it can be used without the ship since it has another meaning. As for the lack of historical setting, they tried that with season 2 and it was considered a failure so they probably decided to focus more on story than the setting.

I love so much that Dan Steven is pretty much in wild horror/sci fi stuff with the exception of playing human beast in live action Beauty and the Beast. Edit: I was not familiar with Downton Abbey and apologize to all those offended by my mistake.

Was getting AI "energy" from this fairly braindead comment, checked the history and yep - LLM nonsense ad infinitum

Not really that uncommon for a streaming show, Amazon in particular holds basically everything for a year after it's done filming. AMC probably was deciding if they'd air it on TV or stick it only on AMC+ instead.

It was filmed during the summer of 2024. Not unusual these days that it takes over a year before its released. Season 1 also took that long.

- by Ridley Scott

I’m yet to find him in a role I don’t enjoy

I've really enjoyed his career although there was one point where he was being linked with the Bond role which would have been awesome to see too

Seems like it would’ve been perfect in a 1970s setting.

Yup, new Dexter villain and a new BBC series 'Legacy of Spies'. More Dan Stevens is always a good thing!

Yeah, I'm way less interested in this without that aspect. Granted, I didn't watch season 2, but I really liked the historical aspect of season 1 and figured that was kind of the Brand for this show

Goddamnit Dutch! What other errands do you have us running for the DA?!

If you haven’t seen it watch I’m Your Man

If the show ends up being as good as the book it’s based on then it’ll surpass AHS S2!

Probably not, since he died in February: https://arstechnica.com/culture/2026/02/hyperion-author-dan-simmons-dies-from-stroke-at-77/
