AMC is in the process of developing a really cool new series called The Terror, and they've just cast Mad Men's Jared Harris in the lead role.

The series will be an adaptation of a novel by Dan Simmons, the story of which is set in 1847. It follows the real life story of a Naval expedition searching for the Northwest Passage and in the process disappears. The series will take a fictional spin on the events that took place as the crews are attacked by a mysterious predator that stalks the ships.

Harris will play a character named Francis Crozier, "Captain of the Hms Terror and second in command of the expedition. He is a brilliant sailor and captain, but an Irishman who has reached his glass ceiling in the British Royal Navy and has become disillusioned with its pomp and politics."

Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV,...

Author Dan Simmons knows how to spark scares and intrigue with his writing. His 1991 novel Summer of Night is essential reading for those who love a good coming-of-age horror tale, and his historical fiction novel The Terror offers an eerie experience of its own. AMC will bring the latter to the screen with their upcoming anthology series, which has just cast Jared Harris in the lead role of Captain Francis Crozier:

Press Release: New York, NY, September 29, 2016 – AMC announced today that Jared Harris (Mad Men, The Crown) has been cast as the lead actor in the networks’ anthology drama series, The Terror, an adaption of the bestselling novel by Dan Simmons.

Ellen Page and Kate Mara are taking their real-life friendship to new heights, starring beside one another in the upcoming romantic drama Mercy, according to Variety. The Oscar-nominated Juno star will play the daughter of a man on death row who winds up falling in love with a woman (played by House Of Cards’ Mara) on the opposite side of the capital punishment debate.

Page—who, along with Mara, is co-producing Mercy with Killer Films’ Christine Vachon and David Hinojosa—hinted at the project during a Zurich Film Festival press conference last year when she said, “I’m focusing mostly on stories that are meaningful to me and stories for women and supporting more gay characters.” This sure to be life-affirming romp will be directed by Israeli filmmaker Tali Shalom Ezer (Princess), from a screenplay by British TV writer Joe Barton (Humans, Cuffs). “We were so enthralled by Tali’s...

The game is afoot and so is the fourth season of Hartswood Films' Sherlock TV series. PBS and BBC One have announced filming for Sherlock, season four, has begun. This is good news for co-star Amanda Abbington (Mary Morstan). Abbington starred in the Cuffs TV series, which was cancelled by BBC One after one season. She also plays Miss Mardie on Mr. Selfridge, which recently began its fourth and final season on PBS.

The upcoming three-episode fourth season of Sherlock, features Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), back in UK, as Doctor John Watson (Martin Freeman) and his wife, Mary, ready themselves for the arrival of their baby. The announcement quotes co-creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (pictured above) saying: "This is the story we’ve been telling from the beginning. A story about to reach its climax." Should we deduce that the upcoming...

Cuffs star Eleanor Matsuura thinks it is a shame BBC One cancelled the police drama after one series (season). She and co-stars Amanda Abbington, Alex Carter, Jacob Ifan, and Pete Sullivan took to Twitter to express their sorrow over the cancellation, in mid-December.

More than a month later, Matsuura is still disappointed by the "premature" decision to cancel the Cuffs TV series, which also starred Ashely Walters and Broadchurch's Shaun Dooley.

BBC One has cancelled freshman crime drama, Cuffs, after one series (season). The Cuffs cancellation news broke late last week, and has been tweeted about by cast members, including Amanda Abbington, Eleanor Matsuura, Alex Carter, Jacob Ifan, and Peter Sullivan.

Fans are not ready to be uncuffed, at least not without a fight. A Change.Org petition to recommission (renew) Cuffs currently has 6,556 signatures. On Twitter, the Cuffs renewal charge is led by the We Love Cuffs account. Bearing the display name #Bringbackcuffs, the account's profile picture is a BBC logo, modified to read "Bring Back Cuffs." Cheeky.

Amanda Abbington's TV show 'Cuffs' has been cancelled. After the final episode of series one of the BBC police drama aired on Wednesday (16.12.15), Amanda took to Twitter to confirm that it had been axed. She wrote: ''End of an era. And we are all gutted. Thanks to a wonderful cast, crew and fans. No series two. Sad day. #bbcCuffs ''Thanks for all your support and tweets regarding #cuffs. You're all so great. Bless ya. We will miss it so much. XxX (sic).'' Co-star Alex Carter added: ''Thank u 4all the #Cuffs love. It really was the perfect job & team,...

BBC One's Cuffs is a pre-watershed cop show that blends police procedure with the officers' personal lives - sound familiar?

But despite the apparent similarities, the Cuffs cast have insisted that their show is nothing like ITV's long-running The Bill, which wrapped a 26-year run in 2010.

"I mean, let's be honest, everyone's going to try and say it's the new Bill," admitted Ashley Walters, who plays PC Ryan Draper. "But for me, it's a lot more than that. It's very real... the raw emotion is very real."

Both Walters and co-star Shaun Dooley (DC Carl Hawkins) said Cuffs is actually closer in spirit to gritty, fly-on-the-wall documentaries like BBC Two's acclaimed The Detectives.

"It's less about solving the crime, and more about the human beings solving the crime," Dooley said.

Broadchurch actor Dooley was particularly keen to avoid comparisons to The Bill - telling press including Digital Spy...

BBC One is looking to give the cop show a twist with its new series Cuffs - and star Ashley Walters has said he had something to prove in taking on the part of PC Ryan Draper.

Walters told press including Digital Spy that he was happy to break away from the "bad boy" character type he'd played on Channel 4's Top Boy.

"I'm known for playing a lot of gangster bad boy roles, and [there's] the whole So Solid stigma," he admitted. "But hopefully if I can make people believe that I'm a copper, then I'm doing well at my job, because I can go from one extreme to the other.

"It's good to be doing something really different. On Top Boy, I found myself, every day, on the phone - 'Where are ya? You got the food [drugs]? Where's the money?' - and all my scenes were in Dalston Market.

Autumn nights may be getting colder and darker, but thankfully, 'tis the season of brilliant television. And trust us, there's no let up this week - from the first new-look X Factor live shows, to the return of excellent hit comedies Catastrophe and Detectorists.
