AMC+ and Shudder announced today the premiere date for The Terror: Devil in Silver, the long-awaited third installment of the hit horror anthology series.
I’m thriller about the news, as I, along with the show’s legions of fans, have been waiting for this since it was announced back in early 2024.
The Terror: Devil in Silver is based on Victor LaValle’s novel The Devil in Silver, named “one of the best books of the year” by The New York Times Book Review, Publishers Weekly, and The Washington Post.
Starring in this third installment is Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Zero Day, Gaslit), who plays 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 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… although doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.
The Terror: Devil in Silver premieres in the US on Thursday, May 7, exclusively on AMC+ and Shudder. New episodes will drop weekly through June 11. (It will air later this year on AMC.)
The six-episode limited series costars Judith Light (Before, Out of My Mind), CCH Pounder (Rustin, NCIS: New Orleans), Aasif Mandvi (Evil, This Way Up), John Benjamin Hickey (The Big C, Lilly), Stephen Root (Barry, Heads of State), Michael Aronov (The Americans, Operation Finale), Marin Ireland (Sneaky Pete, Glass Chin), Chinaza Uche (Silo, A Good Person), Hampton Fluker (Shades of Blue, Instant Family), b (WeCrashed, You), Hayward Leach (Tom Swift, Love Life), and Philip Ettinger (First Reformed, I Know This Much Is True).
The Terror: Devil in Silver is executive produced by Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, and Clayton Krueger for Scott Free Productions, Alexandra Milchan for Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady (Entertainment 360), and Brooke Kennedy, alongside series showrunners Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) and Victor LaValle (The Changeling), director Karyn Kusama (Yellowjackets), and star Dan Stevens.
Previous installments of The Terror focused on a British naval expedition stuck in the ice while searching for the Northwest Passage and haunting events in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Check ’em out!
