If you’re trapped in the hellscape that is Winter 2018, surrounded by piles of snow and frigid temperatures, the last thing you want to curl up to is a series set in the arctic. Unless that series is “The Terror,” which will give you the cold comfort that things could actually be worse.
The AMC show, produced by Ridley Scott, and featuring Jared Harris and Ciarin Hinds among the ensemble, tells the “true story” of the Royal Navy’s perilous journey through the Northwest Passage. If the icy landscape wasn’t enough to deal with, it turns out they have The Thing or Yeti on their tails. Or something. Here’s the official synopsis:
Inspired by a true story, The Terror, from executive producers Ridley Scott, David Kajganich and Soo Hugh, takes viewers on a harrowing journey. The story centers on the Royal Navy’s perilous voyage into unchartered territory as the crew attempts to discover the Northwest Passage. Faced with treacherous conditions, limited resources, dwindling hope and fear of the unknown, the crew is pushed to the brink of extinction. Frozen, isolated and stuck at the end of the earth, The Terror highlights all that can go wrong when a group of men, desperate to survive, struggle not only with the elements, but with each other.
“The Terror” arrives on March 26th.
