AMC will welcome Star Trek actor George Takei to the second season of its anthology series The Terror, the network said Tuesday.

Takei will serve as consultant and series regular for The Terror, which stars Derek Mio. 

Additional casting includes Kiki Sukezane (Lost in Space), Miki Ishikawa (9-1-1), Shingo Usami (Unbroken) and Naoko Mori (Everest). The sophomore season of the series will debut on AMC next year with 10 episodes, said network officials.

The Terror will focus on a series of bizarre deaths that haunt a Japanese-American community, and a young man's journey to understand and combat the entity responsible, said the network. 

Season two of the series is co-created and executive produced by Alexander Woo (True Blood) and Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla). Ridley Scott, Dan Simmons, David W. Zucker, Alexandra Milchan, Scott Lambert and Guymon Casady also serve as executive producers.

AMC has officially launched its premium AMC Premiere service on YouTube TV, the network said Wednesday (July 11).

AMC Premiere, which costs $4.99 a month and gives subscribers access to commercial-free versions of AMC’s series plus extras including bonus footage, sneak peeks of future episodes and exclusive behind-the-scenes features, will now be available on YouTube TV’s channel lineup, which costs $40 a month.

The deal between AMC and YouTube TV was initially announced this past February.

“Our viewers are at the center of AMC Premiere’s success, and this launch now makes it available to YouTube TV customers across the country,” said Mac McKean, executive vice president of innovation for AMC and SundanceTV, in a statement. “We’re excited to offer commercial-free viewing and the chance to watch seasons of AMC shows like The Terror ahead of anyone else, as well as extended episodes of popular AMC shows. YouTube TV has been a fantastic partner and the launch represents an exciting opportunity for AMC Premiere.”

YouTube TV is the second major television provider to roll out AMC Premiere in cooperation with AMC, following an initial launch on Comcast last summer, said the network.

AMC has set a March 26 date for the debut of its new suspense series The Terror, the network said Friday.

The 10-episode series, from executive producer Ridley Scott, centers on the Royal Navy’s perilous voyage into unchartered territoryas the crew attempts to discover the Northwest Passage, said network officials.

The ten-episode series stars Jared Harris (The Crown, Mad Men); Tobias Menzies (Outlander); Ciarán Hinds (Game of Thrones); Paul Ready (Cuffs); Adam Nagaitis (Suffragette); Nive Nielsen (The New World); Ian Hart (Neverland); and Trystan Gravelle (Mr. Selfridge). 

The Terror is produced by Scott Free, Emjag Productions and Entertainment 360 in association with AMC Studios. The series is executive produced by Scott, David Kajganich, Soo Hugh, David W. Zucker, Alexandra Milchan, Scott Lambert and Guymon Casady. 

“The Terror captures a rare combination of fascinating history, complex and flawed characters, the inextinguishable human spirit and the horror and promise of an uncharted world,” said executive producers and co-showrunners David Kajganich and Soo Hugh in a statement. “We are looking forward to bringing viewers into this world in March.”
