Scott Free, Emjag Productions and Entertainment 360 are producing the series in association with AMC Studios. It is being written by David Kajganich (<em>True Story<\/em>, <em>A Bigger Splash<\/em>), who will also serve as co-showrunner with Soo Hugh (<em>The Whispers<\/em>, <em>The Killing<\/em>). The series 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 crew in a game of survival.<\/p>\n<p>AMC ordered ten one-hour episodes with an expected premiere date in 2017. Also executive producing are Alexandra Milchan (<em>The Wolf of Wall Street<\/em>) and Scott Lambert (<em>Paranoia<\/em>), both of whom are principals at Emjag Productions, and Guymon Casady (<em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, <em>Steve Jobs<\/em>) of Entertainment 360, the content arm of Management 360.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been focused on developing this incredible story for television with these great partners for a couple of years, and we think it provides rich dramatic material but also an opportunity to explore the anthology format, which is something we\u2019re extremely interested in and offers some unique possibilities,\u201d said Joel Stillerman, the president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV. \u201cOriginality is still something that gets our attention every day, and the very unique mixing of historical non-fiction with a gripping and imaginative science fiction overlay in Dan\u2019s novel is something that we hadn\u2019t seen before. That, combined with an exceptional team behind the project made this something we really wanted to bring to air on AMC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDan&#8217;s novel is that rare combination of fascinating actual history, ground-breaking genre storytelling, and the complex character work of literature,\u201d Kajganich said. \u201cThe chance to launch a series that will incorporate all of these elements going forward, and with a team of this caliber, is extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a long-time fan of Dan Simmons, the opportunity to join this project is a dream come true,\u201d Hugh said. \u201cWe look forward to bringing this story to life for the passionate AMC audience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK: AMC has greenlit a new anthology drama, The Terror, which counts Ridley Scott (The Good Wife, The Man in the High Castle) and David Zucker (The Good Wife, The Man in the High Castle) among its executive producers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[138,502,503,504],"class_list":["post-5691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-amc","tag-ridley-scott","tag-scott-free","tag-the-terror","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
