“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.
Himesh Patel (Tenet, Don’t Look Up) will star opposite Danielle Deadwyler (The Woman in the Yard) in Ryan Coogler’s reboot of “The X-Files“, which has wrapped filming on the pilot.
Patel confirmed the news in a chat with The Direct, while reiterating that he and Deadwyler play new characters.
“I don’t want to say anything that’s going to get me disappeared. Needless to say, myself and Danielle Deadwyler are playing completely new characters, and we just wrapped on the pilot. If we get to do more… we’ll see where we go from there,” Patel said.
That last sentence is noteworthy, as Patel is reminding that Hulu has only ordered the pilot so far. A full series order has yet to be greenlit.
It’s a good reminder, considering that Hulu also ordered a pilot for the “Buffy: New Sunnydale” reboot that was filmed and delivered earlier this year, only for the streamer to send shockwaves when it opted not to move forward with the series.
As for “The X-Files” pilot, Sinners filmmaker Ryan Coogler writes and directs the pilot. Jennifer Yale (“The Copenhagen Test”) serves as showrunner.
Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler play two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Patel and Deadwyler previously co-starred together on “Station Eleven.”
Other actors who have signed on for guest roles include Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster, Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, and Sofia Grace Clifton.
“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, with two additional seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. 218 episodes were produced in total, along with two feature films: 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future and 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
