Among The Terror: Infamy cast members pictured here are Mio as Chester Nakayama, the son of Japanese-born immigrants who joins the army and attempts to learn more about this mysterious specter, in an effort to stop it. The photos also highlight Takei as Yamato-san, a former fishing captain and elder in Chester's community, along with Usami and Mori as Chester's father Henry and mother Asako; Sukezane as Yuko, a mysterious woman with connections to Chester's past; Rodlo as Luz, Chester's secret girlfriend; and Ishikawa as Amy, a friend of the Nakayama family.

Between its cast and creatives, The Terror: Infamy has a lot going for it right off the bat. The season's historical backdrop is equally fascinating and represents a dark chapter in American history that hasn't been explored all that often in pop culture over the years. That lends Infamy an air of cultural relevance that season 1 didn't necessarily have, and makes it all the more noteworthy as an example of much-needed representation on both sides of the camera. For AMC, Infamy has the potential to match or even exceed The Terror season 1's critical acclaim and prove to be similarly successful in terms of ratings, making a third season all the more likely to happen. Its will also serve to fill a hole in the network's programming this year, now that Better Call Saul season 5 has been formally delayed until 2020.

The Terror: Infamy premieres Monday, August 12 on AMC.
