“You’re in the jungle, baby”. He certainly is. AMC+ and Shudder have dropped the trailer for The Terror: Devil in Silver, ahead of its May 7 premiere.
The latest installment of the AMC anthology series, based on Victor LaValle’s novel, stars Dan Stevens as 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 those society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients working against him, doctors harboring grim secrets, and perhaps even the Devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face 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.
The trailer opens with Stevens’ Pepper being dragged away by police after he gets into a fight with a woman’s ex-partner. “Is this a hospital?”, a hand-cuffed Pepper asks. “Kind of” is the reply. And the terror begins.
The six-episode limited series is executive produced by Ridley Scott,writers and showrunners Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire), author LaValle (The Changeling) and Emmy nominee Karyn Kusama (Yellowjackets), who directs the first two episodes.
Alongside Stevens the ensemble cast includes Judith Light, Aasif Mandvi, Hampton Fluker, CCH Pounder, b, Chinaza Uche, Stephen Root, Hayward Leach, John Benjamin Hickey, Michael Aronov, Philip Ettinger and Marin Ireland.
The Terror: Devil in Silver is executive produced by Scott, David W. Zucker and Clayton Krueger for Scott Free Productions, Alexandra Milchan for Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady (Entertainment 360), and Brooke Kennedy, alongside series showrunners Cantwell and LaValle, director Kusama and Stevens.
The Terror: Devil in Silver will premiere Thursday, May 7 on AMC+ and Shudder, with new episodes airing weekly. The series will also air on AMC later this year.
