Plot and Setting
The third season stars Dan Stevens as the lead character, Pepper. The narrative follows Pepper, a working-class moving man
who finds himself wrongfully committed to the New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital.

. The trailer illustrates this beginning by showing Pepper being taken away by police following a physical altercation with the ex-partner of a woman.
New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital is depicted as an institution designed for those whom society would rather forget
. As Pepper attempts to navigate the facility, he discovers a hellscape where nothing is as it seems
.
There, he must contend with patients working against him, doctors harboring grim secrets, and perhaps even the Devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face 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.

Series History and Context
The anthology format allows each season of The Terror
to explore different settings and stories of survival. The series first premiered in March 2018.
The first season focused on a fleet of polar explorer ships that became trapped in frozen ice, forcing the crew to survive extreme conditions through any means necessary.
The second season, The Terror: Infamy
, premiered in 2019. That installment moved the setting to Southern California during World War II, focusing on the experiences of a Japanese American community.
The transition to the psychiatric hospital setting in Devil in Silver
