American Movie Classics (AMC) has released a batch of teaser photos for season two of The Terror, a historic anthology series starring Star Trek icon George Takei that was filmed in Richmond.
Filming took place at the Britannia Shipyards this winter, when the historic site was temporarily closed to be transformed to depict a 1940s Japanese internment camp near Los Angeles.
This week the network released a first look at the upcoming season.
Takei plays Nobuhiro Yamato, and is pictured holding firewood and wearing a toque and jacket. He worked as a consultant for the show, advising producers on how to depict the internment camp based on his own experience being imprisoned as a child after the outbreak of World War II.
