Where was The Terror filmed?
The Terror is set on board two Royal Navy ships - HMS Erebus and HMS Terror - but its filming was split over three locations in Hungary, Croatia and Canada.
Production began in April 2017 - ready for a March 2018 release in the US - and saw studio locations in Budapest, Hungary, and in Vancouver, Canada.
It was at these two locations that the bulk of the series was shot, including the frozen Arctic scenes, with much of the dramatic polar ice digitally added in post production.
Two replica ships were made along with separate sets which saw interior scenes shot on one and the deck footage taken on the other.

The Terror cast: Ciarán Hinds as John Franklin
Ciarán Hinds portrays John Franklin in The Terror, but some viewers will know him better as Mance Rayder in Game of Thrones.
The Belfast-born actor, 68, is also famous for his role as Aberforth Dumbledore in the 2011 film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
Ciarán often plays villainous roles in feature films such as The Sum of All Fears, Road to Perdition, Munich and There Will Be Blood.

Second-in-command of Erebus and third-in-command of the expedition, James Fitzjames is a rising star in the British Royal Navy.
He has secured John Franklin’s confidence, in spite of his never having sailed in the polar regions before, and develops an enmity toward Crozier. Fitzjames perceives Crozier as a joyless alcoholic bore, but he secretly knows that Crozier sees through his self-aggrandising bluster.
And Crozier is not wrong: When the expedition finds itself in desperate straits, the confident mask Fitzjames presents to the world begins to slip, revealing a man with crippling secrets.
Tobias Menzies is best known for performances in the cult series Outlander, where he plays Jonathan ‘Black Jack’ Randall and Game of Thrones, which he stars in as Edmure Tully.
