Is The Terror based on a true story?
The first series of The Terror was based on a true story.
The Arctic thriller told the story of the 1845 British naval expedition to the Northwest Passage.
The 10-part drama combined the true story of Sir John Franklin’s disastrous expedition with Dan Simmons’ novel The Terror.
The dramatisation brought to life the last days of the two famous ships – HMS Terror and HMS Erebus – and its doomed crews.
Real life reports suggested that the men resorted to cannibalism as their only means to survive.
Of course, no one really knows what happened on the two boats once they disappeared.
However, The Terror: Infamy is NOT based on a true story.
Although, the use of internment camps by the American government did happen.
