The Terror is a criminally overlooked horror drama that got missed by lots of people when it first aired in 2018.
Set in the Arctic Circle in 1847 and inspired by real events, The Terror charts the treacherous journey of polar explorers to survive in the unthinkable conditions in the frozen north.
The show is based upon Dan Simmons' novel of the same name which speculates on the unexplained disappearance of the crew on HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. It's a bleak, chilling tale that will draw any viewer in who's looking for a new drama to sink their teeth into.

What is The Terror about?
The 10-part drama is inspired by Captain Sir John Franklin’s doomed Arctic expedition. The show follows the Royal Navy’s attempt to discover the Northwest Passage. In the face of dwindling resources, lost hope and the terrible Arctic conditions, the crew are pushed to the brink.
The show ultimately shows us just what happens to a desperate crew of sailors as they start to struggle with each other as much as they do with the elements around them. At the same time, something starts picking off the crew as they beginning to realise that they're being stalked by some elusive, supernatural beast.
