AMC has given the greenlight to a new anthology series titled The Terror, which will be based on the novel of the same name by author Dan Simmons.

The series is set in 1847 and follows a Royal Naval crew that, while searching for the Northwest Passage, is attacked by a mysterious predator that then stalks the ship. The script is written by David Kajganich, who previously penned The Invasion, Blood Creek, and True Story. He also worked on the script for the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s It. Kajganich will serve as showrunner on The Terror along with The Killing and The Whispers writer Soo Hugh.
