Ridley Scott’s Hit Horror Series Returns With Dark New Demonic Villain In The Terror Season 3 Trailer

Seven years after season 2, The Terror is back with a new season featuring a demonic villain.

The anthology horror series produced by Ridley Scott began in 2018 by adapting Dan Simmons' The Terror novel, which tells the chilling story that ensues after explorer ships are stranded in ice. In 2019, The Terror: Infamy premiered, serving as a second season that launched a brand-new story set in a Japanese interment camp during World War II. Season 1 has an overall score of 87% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. It was announced in March 2026 that the series was coming back with season 3, titled The Terror: Devil in Silver, featuring Dan Stevens as a man named Pepper who is wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital.

AMC+ and Shudder have now debuted The Terror: Devil in Silver's first trailer. It opens with Pepper as a kind parental figure bonding with his stepdaughter. When his partner's ex shows up and is acting aggressively, though, Stevens' character turns violent and begins to brutally beat him. This causes Pepper to be arrested and taken to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital where he is faced with disturbed patients, conniving doctors, a demonic figure haunting him, and a secret kept behind a silver door. Check out the trailer below:

In addition to his starring role, Stevens was an executive producer for The Terror: Devil in Silver's six episodes alongside Scott, with Chris Cantwell, Victor LaValle, and Karyn Kusama as the showrunners and writers. Kusama directed the first two episodes, which come to AMC+ and Shudder on May 7, followed by weekly releases for the rest of the season. The episodes will also air later in the year on AMC.

The actors surrounding Stevens in the series are Judith Light, Aasif Mandvi, Hampton Fluker, CCH Pounder, Chinaza Uche, Stephen Root, Hayward Leach, John Benjamin Hickey, Michael Aronov, Philip Ettinger, and Marin Ireland. Stevens portraying someone committed to a psychiatric hospital where all is not what may sound familiar to those who watched him in FX's Legion, although those circumstances were due to taking place in an alternate timeline involving X-Men mutants, while The Terror: Devil in Silver goes down more of a demonic horror route.

Along with his acclaimed performance in Legion, Stevens is well known for his roles as the Beast in Disney's live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast and Matthew Crawley in Downton Abbey. As for other members of the show's creative team behind the camera, Ridley Scott's movies are among some of the most defining in the history of cinema, especially when it comes to Alien, Thelma and Louise, and Gladiator. He has been an executive producer of The Terror since season 1.

The Terror: Devil in Silver's Kusama directed the critically acclaimed pilot episode and game-changing season 2 finale of the hit series Yellowjackets, Cantwell is a co-creator and co-showrunner of Halt and Catch Fire, and LaValle wrote The Changeling novel that was adapted into an Apple TV series.

The Terror: Devil in Silver beings with a two-episode premiere on May 7 on AMC+ and Shudder, followed by weekly episode releases.
