The Outlander co-star Tobias Menzies is set as a lead in The Terror, AMC’s anthology drama series based on the 2007 bestselling novel by Dan Simmons. Scott Free, Alexandra Milchan’s Emjag Productions, Entertainment 360 and AMC Studios are producing the 10-episode straight-to-series drama set to premiere in 2017.
Written by feature writer David Kajganich who co-showruns with Soo Hugh, the series is set in 1847, when a Royal Naval expedition crew searching for the Northwest Passage is attacked by a mysterious predator that stalks the ships and their crews in a suspenseful and desperate game of survival. It is a fictionalized account of Captain Sir John Franklin’s lost expedition of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror.
Menzies will play a member of the Royal Navy. This marks his reunion with AMC where he recently co-starred in The Night Manager limited series, nominated for 12 Emmy Awards.
