AMC Networks announces start of production for new and returning series in 2019, including The Terror: Infamy, Lodge 49 and Dispatches from Elsewhere.


AMC Networks has announced the start of production for new and returning series in 2019, including the second seasons of The Terror entitled The Terror: Infamy on Sundance TV (DStv 108) and Lodge 49.

Production on the second season of The Terror: Infamy seen on AMC's Sundance TV began production on 14 January in Vancouver, Canada.

Set during World War II, the haunting and suspenseful 10-episode season will revolve around 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.

George Takei from Star Trek fame serves as a consultant, as well as series regular, while Derek Mio stars as Chester Nakamura.

Season two of The Terror is co-created and executive produced by Alexander Woo who is also the showrunner, and Max Borenstein. The Terror: Infamy is an AMC Studios production.

Lodge 49, with AMC Studios Content Distribution managing worldwide sales, began filming its 10-episode second season on 22 January in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States.

The comedy-drama series is a light-hearted, modern fable set in Long Beach, California about a disarmingly optimistic local ex-surfer, Dud (Wyatt Russell), who's drifting after the death of his father and collapse of the family business.

The recently-commissioned hourlong anthology series, Dispatches from Elsewhere, created by and starring Jason Segel will start production in Philadelphia in the United States in July 2019.

Dispatches From Elsewhere is about a group of ordinary people who stumble onto a puzzle hiding just behind the veil of everyday life.

They will come to find that the mystery winds far deeper than they ever imagined. Jason Segel will executive produce with Scott Rudin, Eli Bush and Garrett Basch
