As a history enthusiast and avid movie lover, I find myself utterly captivated by this recent turn of events. The fusion of historical mystery with contemporary storytelling has always intrigued me, and AMC’s original series, The Terror, is an excellent example of that.
A devotee of the original AMC series “The Terror” recently made headlines. In a recent study published on Tuesday, real-life historian Fabiënne Tetteroo managed to solve a 200-year-old archaeological enigma that was connected to the show. It was through watching AMC’s “The Terror” series that Tetteroo first became acquainted with the mystery of the lost expedition.
Under the command of Captain John Franklin, the voyage took a turn for the worse when both ships found themselves trapped in the frigid waters of the Canadian Arctic. Much about their fate remains uncertain, unlike in the series, as all 129 crew members on board HMS Terror and HMS Erebus sadly lost their lives. Various hypotheses have been put forward regarding the crew’s and officers’ disappearance, including the possibility of mental instability caused by starvation, hypothermia, illness, or even cannibalism. As early as 1854, these theories were being explored following the discovery of bones during search efforts. It wasn’t until recently that the identities of the remains were largely clarified.
The scientists have successfully compared the DNA from certain remains, and it has been confirmed that these are indeed those of Captain James Fitzjames of the Erebus, thanks to his ancestral lineage. Tetteroo was recognized in the scientific paper on the identification process of Fitzjames’ remains for his crucial role.
…”She generously contributed findings about Fitzjames’ ancestry, aiding our DNA research for the Franklin expedition by suggesting potential candidates. It was thanks to her work that we were able to connect with the genealogical donor.
Tetteroo found James Fitzjames fascinating following his depiction in the series “The Terror.” On her historical platform, JamesFitzjames.com (previously Twitter), she openly expresses her disapproval towards how his character was presented. Tobias Menzies, renowned for roles in Outlander, The Crown, and Game of Thrones, played Fitzjames. At present, Tetteroo is engrossed in writing a biography about him.

What Happened In The Terror
The chilling series “The Terror” has made its way to Netflix as part of AMC’s selection, joining other spine-tingling hits such as “Interview with the Vampire” and “The Walking Dead”. This critically acclaimed show debuted in 2018, and its first two seasons focus on the challenges faced by a crew trapped in ice after embarking on an expedition. Despite Captain Franklin’s extensive maritime expertise, both the HMS Terror and the HMS Erebus encountered difficulties far beyond the harsh conditions.
As the grim reality of their predicament set in, the crew found themselves slipping into madness. They faced uninhabitable weather conditions, starvation, and strained interactions with the local Inuit community. Additionally, a sinister supernatural beast started prowling and preying on the crew members. Desperate to reach safety, the remaining crew abandoned their ships and tragically, some never made it ashore. The show was widely appreciated, boasting an 89% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Deadline announced that the successful series was given a green light for a third season following a five-year hiatus.
They’ve decided to include ‘The Terror: Devil in Silver’ as the third part of their anthology series. This new season airs following ‘The Terror: Infamy,’ which debuted in 2019.
The tale will be derived from a novel sharing the same title, penned by Victor LaValle. Dan Stevens, renowned for his role in FX’s Legion, is slated to take center stage. As of now, there’s no confirmed launch date for The Terror: Devil in Silver, but it’s anticipated to premiere on AMC in 2025.
