The Terror returns to AMC in 2025 with The Terror: Devil in Silver, and will feature episodes directed by Karyn Kusama.
www.comingsoon.netHere’s what’s new about The Terror: Devil in Silver as of now.
-
Release status and format: The Terror: Devil in Silver is a six-episode limited series (the third installment in the The Terror anthology). It premiered on AMC+ and Shudder, with subsequent episodes following on a weekly schedule. This marks the continuation of the franchise in the same production lineage that includes Ridley Scott’s involvement and Victor LaValle’s source material.[2][3][4]
-
Premise and adaptation: The season draws from Victor LaValle’s novel Devil in Silver, centering on a man wrongfully committed to a psychiatric hospital who encounters a malevolent force within the institution’s walls. Dan Stevens headlines the cast, with Karyn Kusama directing the initial episodes and Ridley Scott as an executive producer, reinforcing the show’s blend of grounded character drama and supernatural horror.[3][7][2]
-
Reception and trailer/marketing: A trailer and key art were released ahead of the May 7, 2026 premiere, signaling strong marketing push and high expectations for the season’s atmosphere and scares. Early reaction to trailers and early reviews highlighted the performance by Stevens and the series’ claustrophobic setting as standout elements (note: initial reviews vary in tone, but many praise mood and pacing).[10][2]
-
Where to watch: Availability is through AMC+ and Shudder, with planned linear airings on AMC later in 2026. If you prefer streaming, AMC+ and Shudder are your primary platforms for new episodes; AMC is expected to add broadcasts as the season progresses.[2][3]
-
Notable contrasts with prior seasons: This season departs from earlier Terror installments that focused on naval expeditions or wartime internment camps, leaning instead into a psychiatric setting and a more intimate, psychological horror frame while retaining the franchise’s tradition of mixing human drama with supernatural dread.[4][3]
