In this new video, filmmaker & executive producer Ridley Scott discusses how truth wrestles with fiction in bringing “The Terror” to life on television, while a second with the cast and creators examine why Sir John Franklin, Capt. Francis Crozier and Capt. James Fitzjames were the “astronauts of their day.”
Starring Jared Harris (“The Crown”) and Tobias Menzies (“Outlander”), “The Terror” is set in 1847, when a Royal Naval expedition crew searching for the Northwest Passage is attacked by a mysterious predator that stalks the ships and their crew in a suspenseful and desperate game of survival. It’s based on a true story, which means that, yes, a crew once went on a search for the Northwest Passage.
The rest of the cast includes Ciarán Hinds (Justice League) as Sir John Franklin; Paul Ready (Cuffs) as Dr. Henry Goodsir; Adam Nagaitis (Suffragette) as Cornelius Hickey; Nive Nielsen (The New World) as Lady Silence; Ian Hart (Neverland) as Thomas Blanky; and Trystan Gravelle (Mr. Selfridge) as Henry Collins.
The 10-episodes series will premiere on March 26, 2018.
