Dan Stevens, best known for his captivating performances in "Abigail" and "Downton Abbey," has been handpicked to lead and executive produce the gripping third installment of AMC Networks' horror anthology, "The Terror: Devil in Silver." Penned by the talented Chris Cantwell, who brought us "Halt and Catch Fire," along with esteemed author Victor LaValle, whose novel serves as the foundation for this season, "The Terror: Devil in Silver" delves into the harrowing tale of Pepper (Stevens).
Pepper, a hardworking moving man, through a confluence of unfortunate events and an impulsive temper, finds himself unjustly imprisoned within the ominous New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital. This asylum harbors those society wishes to forget, and Pepper must navigate a labyrinth of deceitful patients, doctors harboring dark secrets, and perhaps even the very embodiment of evil itself.
As Pepper traverses this hellish landscape where nothing is as it seems, he realizes that the only way to escape is to confront the sinister force that feeds on the suffering within New Hyde's walls. However, this confrontation may uncover the terrifying truth that the worst demons reside within him.
"I am elated to be a part of 'The Terror: Devil in Silver,'" exclaimed Stevens. "This series is a haunting symphony of psychological horror and heart-pounding drama, destined to leave the audience shaken. Victor LaValle, Christopher Cantwell, and this outstanding team have created a diabolical dance of demons and shadows. I am eager to deliver an epic tale that will resonate through the halls like the tolling of a macabre bell."
Cantwell and LaValle join forces with Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker of Scott Free Productions, Alexandra Milchan, and Scott Lambert of Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady of Entertainment 360, Stevens, and Brooke Kennedy to executive produce this six-episode thriller. Adding further creative prowess, Karyn Kusama, known for her works in "Jennifer's Body" and "Yellowjackets," will helm the first two episodes as an executive producer. The new chapter of "The Terror" is slated to premiere on AMC and AMC+ in 2025.
Since his debut in "The Terror," which became AMC+'s most watched library release in its initial month, Stevens has appeared in films like "Abigail," "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire," and lent his voice to the Oscar-winning animated film "The Boy and the Heron." Upcoming projects include starring alongside Hunter Schafer in Tilman Singer's "Cuckoo" and wrapping up production on Netflix's limited series "Zero Day." Stevens is represented by CAA, Julian Belfrage Associates, and Peikoff Mahan Law Office.
