Ridley Scott’s horror anthology series, The Terror, has returned with its latest installment, The Terror: Devil in Silver. Executive produced by Scott, the new season premiered on AMC and AMC+ on May 7. Dan Stevens (The Guest) stars and also executive produces. This season follows the original 2018 series (titled The Terror) and 2019’s second season, Infamy.
According to Comic Book Resources, the horror anthology quickly climbed to the top of the streaming charts on AMC+ and Shudder. Days later, it continues to dominate, outperforming titles like the 2026 horror film Whistle, HBO’s beloved anthology Tales from the Crypt, and the classic I Am Legend.
Like previous installments, this season of the horror anthology tells a standalone story. The six-episode series brings back Ridley Scott as an executive producer and adds the writing talents of Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) and Victor LaValle (The Changeling), who also penned the novel that inspired it.
When working-class mover Pepper is wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital due to some bad luck and a worse temper, he finds himself in an institution filled with society’s forgotten people. There, he battles sketchy patients, doctors with dark secrets, and maybe even the Devil himself. To escape, Pepper must confront the evil entity feeding on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls. But in doing so, he might just discover the worst demons are the ones he carries inside.
