The countdown has begun for the spine-chilling return of The Devil’s Hour, with Peter Capaldi & Jessica Raine reprising their roles in the highly anticipated second season. Fans of the supernatural crime thriller can officially mark their calendars as the new season is set to arrive soon, bringing back the eerie mystery that captivated viewers in its first installment.
The show follows Lucy (Jessica Raine), a social worker plagued by horrifying visions that wake her every night at exactly 3:33 a.m.—the so-called “devil’s hour.” In Season 1, Lucy found herself caught up in a series of brutal murders linked to the enigmatic killer Gideon (played by Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi). The finale left fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting for answers and the resolution of some mind-bending cliffhangers.
For the upcoming season, Capaldi and Raine will be joined by returning cast members Meera Syal, Benjamin Chivers, Nikesh Patel, and Phil Dunster. New faces are also joining the ensemble, including Top Boy‘s Saffron Hocking, who will portray Sam Boyd, a detective sergeant with a mysterious connection to Lucy’s past life.
When is The Devil’s Hour Season 2 Releasing?
The Devil’s Hour season 2 is set to debut on Prime Video on October 18th. Fans can expect the second season to follow the same release format as the first, with all episodes dropping at once for a binge-worthy experience.
The series was renewed for both a second and third season back in November 2022, promising viewers a well-crafted, multi-season arc. Jessica Raine confirmed in a previous interview that the show is envisioned as a trilogy, with the first season’s story already mapped out before filming began. She added, “I knew from the start that Tom Moran [the writer] had plans for both seasons 2 and 3, which made the project even more intriguing.”
