Ridley Scott’s expedition drama The Terror is heading around the world after Amazon struck a global output deal with AMC Studios. The streaming service has inked an agreement that will see it take first-run rights to in-house shows from the Breaking Bad broadcaster in 28 territories including Australia, Germany, Italy, India, and Japan.
The Terror is the first series to emerge from the deal and will air around the world in 2018. The anthology drama, which stars Mad Men’s Jared Harris, Outlander’s Tobias Menzies and Game of Thrones’ Ciaran Hinds, is based on the true story of the Arctic expedition of Captain John Franklin. The drama follows the group as they attempt to discover the Northwest Passage but are faced with treacherous conditions, disease, impending starvation, dwindling hope and fear of the unknown.

Clara M Johnson says
Another show by AMC, and this time centered entirely on men, because there were no women there! It’s like AMC bends over backwards trying to find shows that will either leave women out entirely, or because they’re set back so far, that the only women roles there could be, was of prostitutes or wives or mothers of the male leads!
Are we all sure AMC doesn’t stand for ALL MALE CHANNEL, OR ALL MEN’S CHANNEL?
They have yet to have a show where the lead character is a woman, or even the co-star for that matter!
So I don’t care that this stupid show is renewed or not!
