AMC+ and Shudder have set Thursday, May 7 for the premiere of The Terror: Devil in Silver, the third installment in the popular anthology series, starring Dan Stevens (Abigail, Downton Abbey). New episodes will roll out weekly.
The six-episode limited series, based on Victor LaValle’s (The Changeling) novel, is executive produced by Ridley Scott, writers and showrunners Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire), LaValle and Emmy nominee Karyn Kusama (Yellowjackets), who directs the first two episodes. The new installment will also air on AMC later this year.
Stevens, who also serves as executive producer, stars as 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 those society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients working against him, doctors harboring 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 the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.

Zucker and Clayton Krueger for Scott Free Productions, Alexandra Milchan for Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady (Entertainment 360), and Brooke Kennedy, alongside series showrunners Cantwell and LaValle, director Kusama, and star Stevens.
Devil in Silver follows previous seasons of The Terror, the first of which focused on a British naval expedition stuck in the ice while searching for the Northwest Passage, and The Terror: Infamy, which centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Both seasons are currently streaming on AMC+ and Shudder.
