The Terror Season 3 AMC Premiere Date & Dan Stevens First Look Photos Revealed

“The Terror” is returning, just not where you might expect it. 

The anthology horror series’ third season will premiere on Shudder and AMC+, kicking off on Thursday, May 7, TVLine has learned. The six-episode limited series, which is based on Victor LaValle’s “Devil in Silver,” will air on AMC’s linear channel — where Seasons 1 and 2 debuted — later this year.

Season 3 stars Dan Stevens (“Downton Abbey”) as a middle-class moving man named Pepper. Per the official synopsis, Pepper’s bad luck and bad temper combine to get him 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.” 

The series’ cast also includes Judith Light (“Who’s the Boss?”), CCH Pounder (“NCIS: New Orleans”), Aasi Mandvi (“Evil”), John Benjamin Hickey (“The Big C”), Stephen Root (“Barry”), Michael Aronov (“The Americans”), Marin Ireland (“Dope Thief”), Chinaza Uche (“Silo”), Hampton Fluker (“Shades of Blue”), b (“YOU”), Hayward Leach (“Elsbeth”), and Philip Ettinger (“Happy Face”). 

Ridley Scott (“The Good Wife,” “The Good Fight”) executive-produces the series alongside Chris Cantwell (“Halt and Catch Fire”), LaValle, Karyn Kusama (“Yellowjackets”), and Stevens. Cantwell and LaValle will serve as writers and showrunners; Kusama will direct the first two episodes.
