AMC brings more Terror

The first season of The Terror was a hit among critics

US cablenet AMC has renewed horror series The Terror for a second season, taking the show into an anthology format.

Co-created and executive produced by Alexander Woo (True Blood) and Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla), The Terror’s second season will be based on an idea by Borenstein. Woo, who has an overall development deal with AMC, will serve as showrunner on the project. Gladiator director Ridley Scott is among the executive producers.

The first season of the show was based on a Dan Simmons novel inspired by the true story of the Royal Navy’s fateful mission to find the Northwest Passage in the 1840s.

The follow-up is set during the Second World War and will “centre on an uncanny spectre that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific.”

The Terror is produced by Scott’s prodco Scott Free, Emjag Productions and Entertainment 360. In addition to Scott and Borenstein, the show is exec produced by Simmons, David W Zucker, Alexandra Milchan, Scott Lambert and Guymon Casady.

AMC Studios is the distributor of the show, which airs across AMC Global markets as well as in certain Amazon Prime Video territories.

The Terror season two consists of 10 episodes and will launch next year.
