The second season of The Devil’s Hour will incorporate “thriller-like” elements into the story, compared to the first season of the Amazon Prime series that dealt with hefty supernatural themes. Starring Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife, Informer, Line of Duty), and Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who, The Thick Of It, and the newly announced seventh season of Black Mirror).
“You wondered if there was a supernatural element to it. We totally played with that. We wanted people to be scared. Oh my god, they were really scared. Season two has a slightly more thriller-like aspect to it, which is a lot of fun,” Raine tells SFX Magazine (courtesy of a story from GamesRadar).
The first season of The Devil’s Hour debuted on Prime Video in October 2022 and was subsequently renewed for a second and third run within a month post-release. Raine plays Lucy Chambers, a social worker plagued with insomnia, waking up every night at 3:33am, otherwise known as the devil’s hour.
Hellish visions and an inexplicable connection to a series of local murders bring her into the company of Gideon Shepherd (Capaldi), a criminal with the ability to see into the future.
The Devil’s Hour stars Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso), Benjamin Chivers (Napoleon), Nikesh Patel (Indian Summers), Barbara Marten (The Mill), Alex Ferns (The Batman), Meera Syal (Goodness Gracious Me), Thomas Dominique (Wrath of Man), Rhiannon Harper-Rafferty (The Donmar Warehouse’s All-Female Shakespeare Trilogy) and Brand Bendell (Silver Haze).
The Devil’s Hour is produced by Hartswood Films, with Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue joining Moran as executive producers.
