The 10-episode series is a speculative fiction based on a crew of a Royal Naval expedition searching for the Arctic’s treacherous Northwest Passage discovers instead a monstrous predator.
All 120 mysteriously disappeared.
The Terror premieres on Monday, March 26.
The plot
The story is about H.M.S. Erebus and H.M.S. Terror — which, in 1845, got stuck in the North Atlantic ice while traveling the last unexplored portion of the Northwest Passage.
The expedition is lead by two men: John Franklin (Ciarán Hinds), who commands the Erebus; and Francis Crozier (Jared Harris), captain of the Terror.
History tells us the fates of the crew. It was confirmed that every soul who sailed on the ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror perished in an attempt to traverse the last unexplored section of the Northwest Passage.

Gothic horror style
The true star of The Terror, though, is the production design. The cinematography is gloriously foreboding, full of flickering lanterns, murky darkness, and blinding white snow.
The show is full of creepy monsters to freeze your blood.
