“The Terror: Devil in Silver” – AMC’s Anthology Series Returns in 2025
AMC’s anthology series “The Terror” kicked off back in 2018 and continued with second season “The Terror: Infamy” in 2019. Five years later, “The Terror” is returning to AMC.
AMC has announced today that “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” a new installment in the anthology series, is coming to AMC and AMC+ in 2025. Check out teaser art below.
The first season of the supernatural drama, based on Dan Simmons’ novel and aired in 2018, was set on the frigid decks of a Victorian Era sailing ship following a doomed course, while season two, “The Terror: Infamy,” which premiered in August 2019, centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp.
The new season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.
“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 which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.
Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, “Yellowjackets”) will direct the first two episodes.
“The Terror anthology series has already delivered to fans two unforgettable seasons of storytelling that blend real-world events and characters with a terrifying and mysterious supernatural element,” said AMC’s Dan McDermott. “The Devil in Silver offers a perfect opportunity for a new installment of this popular and critically acclaimed anthology.
“We are looking forward to once again working with Chris Cantwell, who we partnered with so successfully on Halt and Catch Fire, Victor LaValle, Karyn Kusama and this great producing team to share our version of Victor’s heralded and disturbing novel.”
The eight-episode limited series “Carrie” is headed to Prime Video later this year, a brand new adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic story from horror master Mike Flanagan.
Entertainment Weekly is previewing the upcoming series this morning with a handful of first look images that introduce us to Summer H. Howell’s Carrie White and more.
Mike Flanagan explains to Entertainment Weekly, “The only way to approach it was to build something new out of the ingredients of Carrie. Otherwise, there’s really no purpose in trying to retread ground that’s been so beautifully walked before.”
“The themes that Steve was talking about half a century ago of kindness versus cruelty, of empathy and bullying, and violence at school have become even more relevant today than he could have contemplated because of our relationship to technology and the degree to which violence encroaches on our high schoolers, especially in the United States,” Flanagan adds. “We had an opportunity to tell a story about a modern teenage experience that could use the seeds of these characters King created 50 years ago, but express them completely differently.”
Of particular note, Mike Flanagan teases in his chat with Entertainment Weekly that the series will spotlight additional characters who have their own telekinetic abilities.
Each of the show’s episodes will apparently open with the introduction of “a different, unique story of a different woman, somewhere else in the world and in time, coming to terms with their own abilities.” Flanagan teases, “Carrie’s specific place among that group of women is part of the real joy that we get to discover over the course of the season.”
The eight-episode limited series is expected to premiere on Prime Video this Fall.
Here’s the official synopsis: “Misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer Howell) has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.”
Mike Flanagan serves as writer and showrunner in addition to directing four episodes of the eight-part series. Amazon MGM Studios produces. Stephen King executive produces.
“Carrie” stars Summer Howell as Carrie White, with Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Josie Tota as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
