AMC has renewed horror anthology series The Terror for Season 2, and plans to debut the 10-episode second season in 2019.
As anyone who watched Season 1 can probably deduce, the first iteration of The Terror (based on the novel of the same name by Dan Simmons) told a self-contained story about the doomed crews of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, two ships which disappeared while searching for the Northwest Passage in the 1800s. Season 2 of The Terror will tell a brand new story with a new cast and showrunner.
According to AMC, Season 2 of the anthology will be "set during World War II and center on an uncanny specter that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific."
The Terror's second season is co-created and executive produced by Alexander Woo (True Blood) and Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla), with Woo serving as showrunner.
