Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail, Cuckoo) continues to cement his status as scream king with his just-announced starring role in the third season of AMC’s horror anthology series, The Terror.
Stevens will also executive produce the season (alongside none other than Ridley Scott), titled Devil in Silver, written by Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) and author Victor LaValle, whose novel of the same name provides the source material.
Not sold yet? Just wait – Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, Yellowjackets) will also executive produce and direct the first two episodes.
In the six-episode Devil in Silver:
Pepper (Stevens), 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.
In a statement reported by Deadline earlier today, Stevens expressed his excitement to be joining the project:
“I’m thrilled to be a part of The Terror: Devil in Silver […] This series is a dark symphony of psychological horror and gripping drama, set to rock the audience. Victor LaValle, Christopher Cantwell, and this incredible team have crafted a unique and twisted dance of devils and shadows. I look forward to delivering something epic that will echo through the halls like an iron bell.”
AMC also tell us that Cantwell and LaValle will executive The Terror: Devil in Silver with Scott and David W. Zucker for Scott Free Productions, Alexandra Milchan and Scott Lambert for Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady (Entertainment 360), Stevens and Brooke Kennedy.
The Terror: Devil in Silver will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in 2025. We’ll bring you updates as we get them!
