Dan Stevens to star in “The Terror: Devil in Silver” Season 3 at AMC
A new chapter in psychological horror
Dan Stevens, known for his versatile roles in both television and film, is set to star in the third season of AMC’s acclaimed series “The Terror.” This season, titled “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” is based on Victor LaValle’s novel “The Devil in Silver” and promises to deliver a dark symphony of psychological horror and gripping drama. The six-episode season is slated to debut on AMC and AMC+ in 2025.
A journey into the unknown
Stevens will portray Pepper, a working-class moving man who finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. This institution is filled with the people society would rather forget, and Pepper must navigate a hellscape where nothing is as it seems. As he contends with patients who work against him, doctors harboring grim secrets, and perhaps even the Devil himself, Pepper discovers that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity thriving on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls. However, doing so may reveal that the worst demons of all live inside him.
A stellar team behind the scenes
The creative team behind “The Terror: Devil in Silver” is as impressive as its cast. Chris Cantwell and Victor LaValle are the writers and executive producers for the season. Karyn Kusama will executive produce and direct the first two episodes, while Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker will executive produce via Scott Free Productions. Other executive producers include Alexandra Milchan and Scott Lambert for Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady of Entertainment 360, Dan Stevens, and Brooke Kennedy.
Stevens’ excitement for the role
“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,” Stevens said. “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.”
A return to familiar territory
This will mark the second time Stevens has starred in a television series set in a mental hospital. He previously led the FX-Marvel series “Legion,” the first season of which was set largely in the Clockworks Psychiatric Hospital. His other TV roles include the hit British series “Downton Abbey,” the Starz limited series “Gaslit,” and “High Maintenance” at HBO. He recently joined the Hulu animated series “Solar Opposites” and has wrapped production on the Netflix political thriller “Zero Day.”
A versatile actor with a rich filmography
In addition to his television work, Stevens has an impressive filmography. His credits include “Abigail,” “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” the live-action remake of “Beauty and the Beast,” and the Studio Ghibli film “The Boy and the Heron.” His ability to seamlessly transition between genres and mediums makes him a compelling choice for the lead role in “The Terror: Devil in Silver.”
A legacy of horror and history
The first season of “The Terror” debuted in 2018 and told the story of a British naval expedition stuck in the ice while searching for the Northwest Passage. The second season, titled “The Terror: Infamy,” came out in 2019 and followed Japanese-Americans who were put into internment camps during World War II. Each season of “The Terror” has brought a unique blend of historical events and supernatural horror, and “The Terror: Devil in Silver” is poised to continue this tradition.
