“The Terror: Devil in Silver” was formally greenlit at the cabler back in February. Stevens will also executive produce the six-episode season in addition to starring. It is slated to debut on AMC and AMC+ in 2025.
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.”
Chris Cantwell and LaValle are writers and executive producers on the season. Karyn Kusama will executive produce and direct the first two episodes. Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker executive produce via Scott Free Productions along with Alexandra Milchan and Scott Lambert for Emjag Productions, Guymon Casady of Entertainment 360, Stevens, and Brooke Kennedy.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of ‘The Terror: Devil in Silver.’ This series is a dark symphony of psychological horror and gripping drama, set to rock the audience,” Stevens said. “Victor LaValle, Christopher Cantwell, and this incredible team have crafted a unique and twisted dance of devils and shadows. I look forward to delivering something epic that will echo through the halls like an iron bell.”

This will now mark the second time Stevens has starred in a television series set in a mental hospital, at least initially. Stevens previously led the FX-Marvel series “Legion,” the first season of which was set largely in the Clockworks Psychiatric Hospital. His other TV roles include the hit British series “Downton Abbey,” the Starz limited series “Gaslit,” and “High Maintenance” at HBO. He recently joined the Hulu animated series “Solar Opposites” and has wrapped production on the Netflix political thriller “Zero Day.” In film, Stevens’ credits include “Abigail,” “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” the live-action remake of “Beauty and the Beast,” and the Studio Ghibli film “The Boy and the Heron.”
He is repped by CAA, Julian Belfrage Associates, and Peikoff Mahan Law Office.
The first season of “The Terror” debuted in 2018 and told the story of a British naval expedition stuck in the ice while searching for the Northwest Passage. The second season, titled “The Terror: Infamy,” came out in 2019 and followed Japanese-Americans who were put into internment camps during World War II.
