When 26-year-old actress and filmmaker Sophia Maddox got her routine ancestry test results back, she wasn’t greeted by distant European royalty or a lost cousin in Cleveland. Instead, her father, Daniel Arguelles, helped her decipher a far darker secret: his biological father was none other than America’s most notorious cult leader, Charles Manson. “I was obviously very devastated,” Maddox revealed in an interview. “My dad was just rubbing my back, holding me, telling me we were nothing like him. But it was a little traumatic.” Naturally, when life hands you a bloodline linked to one of history’s most terrifying figures, you don’t just process it in therapy—you pitch a true crime documentary.

“The Terror” Will Return for Season Four with Another True Story Inspired Tale

If you thought AMC’s prestige horror anthology series “The Terror” was dead and buried, think again. The show is proving to be just as resilient as the monsters it features. Fresh off wrapping its third season just last month, “The Terror” is officially locked in for Season 4. Executive producer David W.
