AMC Global to Debut The Terror Across Europe, LatAm

NEW YORK: A newly signed deal will see the upcoming anthology series The Terror premiere exclusively on AMC Global in territories across Europe and Latin America in 2017 within minutes of the U.S. broadcast on AMC.

Scott Free, Emjag Productions and Entertainment 360 are producing the ten-episode drama in association with AMC Studios. Distributed internationally by AMC Studios, The Terror is set in 1847, when a Royal Naval expedition crew searching for the Northwest Passage is attacked by a mysterious predator that stalks the ships and their crews in a game of survival.

The series is written by David Kajganich (True Story, A Bigger Splash), who will also serve as co-showrunner with Soo Hugh (The Whispers, The Killing). Executive producers are Ridley Scott (The Good Wife, The Man in the High Castle) and David W. Zucker (The Good Wife, The Man in the High Castle) of Scott Free; Alexandra Milchan (The Wolf of Wall Street) and Scott Lambert (Paranoia), principals at Emjag Productions; and Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs) of Entertainment 360, the content arm of Management 360.

“We’re very excited to bring this gripping dramatic story to AMC Global audiences exclusively next year within minutes of the AMC U.S. premiere,” commented Harold Gronenthal, the executive VP of programming and operations at AMC and Sundance Channel Global. “With a distinctive combination of science fiction and historical nonfiction, The Terror will complement the outstanding lineup of original series on AMC Global such as Fear the Walking Dead, Humans and Into the Badlands.”
