Season 2 of THE TERROR Confirmed To Be Set During World War II
I thought the first season of the Ridley Scott-produced AMC series The Terror was incredible! I love those kinds of supernatural stories and I’ve been looking forward to seeing what Season 2 will entail. The first season was inspired by the true story of Captain Sir John Franklin’s lost expedition to the Arctic in the 1800s.
Deadline has confirmed that The Terror Season 2 will be set during World War II in a Japanese-American internment camp. The story is said to “center on an uncanny specter that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific.”
We never really see any stories set in the Japanese-American internment camps and it’s sure to make for a fascinating story. I’m looking forward to seeing exactly how this story will play out.
It was also announced that Narcos director Josef Kubota Wladyka would be directing the first episode of Season 2 of AMC’s anthology series. Series co-creator Alexander Woo (True Blood) and Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island) had this to say in a statement about hiring the director:
“We are so thrilled to have gotten our dream director in Josef Kubota Wladyka. Not only is he a proven talent in both features and television, but his Japanese-American background gives him a personal connection to the material as well.”
The Terror Season 2 will consist of 10-episode and it’s expected to air on AMC in 2019. What do you think of the setting of the next season?
