Netflix Signs Deal With 'The Terror' Co-Creator Alexander Woo

Alexander Woo, writer and co-creator of “The Terror: Infamy,” has signed a deal with Netflix that will allow him to write and produce multiple shows for the popular streaming service.

“We admire Alexander Woo’s passion for innovative storytelling and creating characters and narratives that captivate and transcend genres,” said Netflix Vice President of Original Series, Peter Friedlander, according to Deadline. “We’re excited to have him on board and look forward to seeing what his creative talents bring to the screen next.”

Woo’s most recent project, “The Terror: Infamy,” was part two of his period piece anthology series for AMC and it currently holds an 80% fresh critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s set during World War II and is a ghost story that is, much like its predecessor, inspired by true events.

The first season, just titled “The Terror,” currently has an 86% fresh critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and follows the crew of a ship in the 19th century who are faced with deathly freezing temperatures and a giant beast that defies all logic.

Other works from Woo, which mostly consist of visceral, high-concept horror, include HBO's “True Blood,” where he acted as executive producer and writer. The drama earned him a Primetime Emmy Award in 2010 for outstanding drama series.

Wood was also involved with the HBO film “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” and is credited as a writer for the Emmy-nominated Showtime series “Sleeper Cell.”

Aside from the Emmy nod, his credits have earned him three NAACP Image Award nominations.
