Synopsis
The Terror TV series is an adaptation of the international bestseller of the same name by Dan Simmons, which tells the true story of an Arctic expedition. In 1845, two British Crown ships sailed into the Arctic and disappeared into its ice. Until now, it is not known exactly what caused the death of sailors.
