You might recall that last month, there was talk that horror series The Terror would be turning into an anthology format should a further season be commissioned. It has been, with US network AMC announcing that the next run of episodes will swap frosty ice peril for spectral World War II California and beyond.
True Blood veteran Alexander Woo is teaming up with Kong: Skull Island's Max Borenstein for the new season, which will follow the story of a spectre that haunts the Japanese-American community during World War II in the homes of Southern California, the internment camps where many were held during the war, and in the Pacific theatre of combat.
"I’m deeply honored to be telling a story set in this extraordinary period," Woo says in a statement carried by Variety. "We hope to convey the abject terror of the historical experience in a way that feels modern and relevant to the present moment. And the prospect of doing so with a majority Asian and Asian-American cast is both thrilling and humbling."
The move makes sense, as the first season was designed to be a closed story, and the new one will have its own feel and setting, while telling yet another single tale. There's no date set yet, but we'd expect the series to return next year.
