TV - The Terror
From executive producer Ridley Scott comes the true story 170 years in the making; The Terror is coming soon to BBC Two and iPlayer...
The 10 one-hour episode anthology series is inspired by true events and is a fictionalised account, based on the novel of the same name by Dan Simmons, of Captain Sir John Franklin’s lost expedition to the Arctic.
In season one, horror strikes 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 captures a rare combination of fascinating history, complex and flawed characters, the inextinguishable human spirit and the horror and promise of an uncharted world,” added executive producers and co-showrunners David Kajganich and Soo Hugh.
Season one of The Terror is Executive Produced by Ridley Scott/Scott Free Productions and the Executive Producers and Showrunners are David Kajganich (True Story, A Bigger Splash) and Soo Hugh (The Whispers, The Killing).
