We’re still a while off Halloween, but Netflix is bringing the scares with its new additions this month, namely with the horrifying drama, The Terror.
Among the slate ofnew TV showsbeing added to thestreaming servicethis month, The Terror joins the likes of Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, and Preacher. The supernatural scares are coming, butThe Terroroutdoes them all.
The first season focuses on Captain Sir John Franklin’s lost expedition to the Arctic, following a crew aboard two Royal Navy ships as they become stranded in the icy plains of the Northwest Passage.
Thanks to its eerie atmosphere and haunting themes, The Terror has proved itself to be an underrated gem when it comes to horror TV. Thankfully, it’s now available on Netflix – unfortunately, the platform only has the first season. (For now.)
Fans of the TV show are elated that it’s now available on the streamer. As one X userwrote: “Calling out of work because I have a 10-hour commitment.”
” know everyone’s gonna be tuned into Interview with the Vampire (for very good reason) but PLEASE give Season 1 of The Terror a watch. It’s so so good with some amazing performances in it,” saidanother.
“As The Terror will be up on Netflix I am once again thinking about how many expressions and moments are burned into my mind,” saida third.
