Having first teased us with a tense and chilly glimpse of a 19th century Arctic expedition gone very, very wrong a couple of months back, we can now reveal the first full trailer for Ridley Scott's new TV series The Terror.

It does look suitably terrifying, doesn't it?

Set to debut on AMC from 24 April, the 10-part series recounts explorer Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition to the then-fabled Northwest passage, a route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from Europe through the Arctic waters of Alaska and Canada.

While the journey is great in promise and scope, things soon go awry (surprise, surprise), with dwindling resources, frayed minds and a horrifying threat lurking in the mist all threatening the existence of the maligned crew.

Aren't you glad we can just hop on a plane nowadays?
