The Terror creeped out audiences last spring with its tale based on a novel by Dan Simmons, which in turn is based on a true story about a failed British expedition into the Arctic to find the Northwest Passage. Full of scares, gore, and despair, The Terror Season 1 was TV horror at its very best.
Of course, the end of The Terror‘s 10-episode run raised the question: will there be more episodes from the series down the line? The answer is yes. AMC has renewed The Terror for a 10-episode second season, titled The Terror: Infamy.
The Terror will be an anthology series (the network’s first), with a completely new story and focus in Season 2. The Terror: Infamy is set during World War II and will tell the story of a Japanese-American community haunted by a series of mysterious deaths.
The Terror Season 2 Release Date
The Terror season 2 will return with episode 10, the season finale, titled “Into the Afterlife,” on Monday, Oct. 15 at 9 pm. Here’s the synopsis:
