Mark Korven (The Witch, Cube, Our House, Awakening the Zodiac) has been tapped as the new composer of the AMC anthology series The Terror. The show’s World War II-set second season, The Terror: Infamy, is created by Alexander Woo (True Blood) & Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla) and centers on a series of bizarre deaths that haunt a Japanese-American community and a young man’s journey to understand and combat the malevolent entity responsible. Woo (who also serves as the new season’s showrunner) and Borenstein are also executive producing the AMC Studios production with Ridley Scott & David W. Zucker (The Man in the High Castle, The Good Wife), Dan Simmons, Alexandra Milchan (Righteous Kill, Street Kings), Scott Lambert (Paranoia, The Silence) and Guymon Casady (Steve Jobs, Office Christmas Party). The first season of the show was scored by Marcus Fjellström who passed away in 2017. The Terror: Infamy will premiere on August 12, 2019 on AMC. Visit the official show website for updates.
Korven has also recently scored Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, which premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and is expected to be released later this year by A24.
