“The Terror: Devil in Silver” Adds Marin Ireland, CCH Pounder, and Many More to Cast
AMC’s anthology series “The Terror” is returning to AMC with “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” starring and executive produced by Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail). Per Deadline, twelve actors have joined the cast, including Birth/Rebirth and The Dark and the Wicked star Marin Ireland and CCH Pounder (Godzilla: King of the Monsters).
The six-episode 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.
Judith Light (“Shining Vale”), Aasif Mandvi (“Evil“), John Benjamin Hickey (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), Stephen Root (“Barry”), Michael Aronov (“The Americans”) are among a dozen actors joining star/executive producer Dan Stevens, Marin Ireland, and CCH Pounder in the third installment of AMC Networks’ “The Terror” horror anthology series.
The rest of the new principal cast additions are Chinaza Uche (“Silo”), 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 new installment will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in 2025. Filming is currently underway on the limited series.
Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, “Yellowjackets”) will direct the first two episodes, with Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) writing the small screen adaptation of the novel.
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 third trailer for creator Ryan Murphy’s “The Shards”, based on the 2023 prep school thriller novel by American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, laments how hard kids had it in 1981.
To be fair, there’s a serial killer on the loose and a lot of backstabbing in the trailer below.
Look for “The Shards” to premiere on FX and Hulu on August 5 at 6 p.m. PT.
Igby Rigney (“The Fall of the House of Usher”), Homer Gere (“The Agency”), Graham Campbell, Kaia Gerber (Shell), Evan Rachel Wood (“Westworld”), Igby Rigney, Wes Bentley, and Hayes Warner star.
Set in 1981 Los Angeles, the semi-autobiographical, dark coming-of-age tale follows a 17-year-old Ellis during his final year at the elite Buckley prep school. Upending the character’s world is the arrival of a mysterious new student, Robert Mallory, whose unsettling presence coincides with the activities of a serial killer known as The Trawler.
In the series, Rigney will portray Ellis, and Campbell will play Thom. Gere, son of actor Richard Gere, has been cast as Robert Mallory. Frequent Murphy collaborator Max Winkler (“American Horror Story,“ “Grotesquerie”) is attached to direct.
The series is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television.
