The Terror: Infamy

AMC is giving us a first look at The Terror: Infamy, a series that takes place in a WWII Japanese American Incarceration Camp.

The network announced that the show will debut Aug. 112 at 9 ET/PT on AMC.

The biggest name associated with the horror series is George Takei, the Star Trek alum, who also created Allegiance, a Broadway musical based on his experiences in an internment camp.

The Terror: Infamy

The Terror: Infamy title is a take on President Roosevelt's "day of infamy' speech announcing the Dec. 7 attack on Pearl Harbor.

Besides Takei, who will portray a community elder, other cast members of the almost all-Asian American cast include: 

Mio as Chester Nakayama; Kiki Sukezane (Lost in Space) as Yuko, a mysterious woman from Chester’s past; Cristina Rodlo (Miss Bala) as Luz, Chester’s secret girlfriend; Shingo Usami (Unbroken) as Henry Nakayama, Chester’s father; Naoko Mori (Everest) as Asako Nakayama, Chester’s mother; Miki Ishikawa (9-1-1) as Amy, a Nakayama family friend; and Takei as Yamato-san, a community elder and former fishing captain.

The internment camp series is co-created and executive produced by Alexander Woo (True Blood) and Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla). Woo also serves as showrunner.
