'The Terror' Season 3 'Devil in Silver' Casts Dan Stevens in Lead Role

A dozen actors have now joined previously announced lead Dan Stevens in the new season, which is officially titled “The Terror: Devil in Silver.” It is based on the novel “The Devil in Silver” written by Victor LaValle.

The new additions are: Judith Light (“Before,” “Out of My Mind”), CCH Pounder (“Rustin,” “NCIS: New Orleans”), Chinaza Uche (“Silo,” “A Good Person”), Hampton Fluker (“Shades of Blue,” “Instant Family”), b (“WeCrashed,” “You”), Aasif Mandvi (“Evil,” “This Way Up”), John Benjamin Hickey (“The Big C,” “Lilly”), Stephen Root (“Barry,” “Heads of State”), Hayward Leach (“Tom Swift,” “Love Life”), Michael Aronov (“The Americans,” “Operation Finale”), Marin Ireland (“Sneaky Pete,” “Glass Chin”), and Philip Ettinger (“First Reformed,” “I Know This Much Is True”).

Per the official series description, Stevens will play Pepper, described as “a working-class moving man who, through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him.”
