Dan Stevens To Execute Produce and Lead Amc Networks’ The Terror: Devil in Silver

LOS ANGELES, CA - July 18, 2024 - AMC Networks today announced that Dan Stevens(Abigail, Downton Abbey) will lead and executive produce the third installment of the lauded horror anthology, The Terror: Devil in Silver. Writing is led by executive producers Chris Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire) and author Victor LaValle, who wrote the celebrated novel on which the season is based. Emmy-nominated director Karyn Kusama (Jennifer's Body, Destroyer, Yellowjackets) also executive produces and will direct the first two episodes.

Stevens will play Pepper, 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.

Shared Stevens: "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. 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."

Stevens most recently appeared in the films Abigail, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and as a voice in the Academy Award-winning animated feature The Boy and the Heron. Upcoming, Stevens will star alongside Hunter Schafer in Tilman Singer's Cuckoo(Neon), and he recently wrapped production Netflix's limited series Zero Day. Dan Stevens Headshot
