The first season of 'The Terror' is inspired by the British Royal Navy’s real-life expedition into uncharted territory as the crew attempts to discover the fabled Northwest Passage. Faced with treacherous conditions, limited resources, dwindling hope and fear of the unknown, the crew is pushed to the brink of extinction. Frozen, isolated and stuck at the end of the earth, 'The Terror' highlights all that can go wrong when a group of men, desperate to survive, struggle not only with the elements, but with each other.
In Season 2, World War II-era Japanese-Americans on South California’s Terminal Island are menaced by a “bakemono” or folkloric spectre. Suffering forced evictions and imprisonment after the attack on Pearl Harbour, the Terminal Islanders are hounded by prejudice and injustice, as well as bad omens and bizarre deaths. One of them, Chester Nakayama, decides to take on the malevolent entity, journeying to realms of evil in both the present... and the distant past.
