The Devil's Hour season 2 release date, cast, trailer, latest news
It's almost here!
It's almost time for Peter Capaldi and Jessica Raine to return to screens in The Devil's Hour season 2, with a release date recently being confirmed.
The supernatural crime thriller follows social worker Lucy, who is woken every night by terrifying visions at exactly 3:33am: the devil’s hour.
Season 1 unravelled Lucy's connection to a string of brutal murders in the area and to the mysterious killer, Gideon (Doctor Who alum Peter Capaldi) - and left us on quite the cliffhanger, with fans clamouring to find out what happens next.
Capaldi will return in season 2 alongside Meera Syal, Benjamin Chivers, Nikesh Patel and Phil Dunster, while various new cast members have been also been announced, with Saffron Hocking (Top Boy) joining the series as Sam Boyd, a detective sergeant who worked under Lucy in a past life.
Here are the latest updates we have on the future of The Devil's Hour, including when season 2 will see the light of day. Not long to wait now!

The Devil's Hour season 2 release date
The Devil's Hour season 2 will begin on Prime Video on 18th October.
All six episodes in season 1 were released at once, so we'd expect season 2 to be the same.
The show was renewed for both a second and third season back in November 2022, meaning the series will play out as was originally intended.
Raine previously confirmed plans for the series to operate as a trilogy last year, stating: "When I took the job, what was so attractive to me was that the whole of the first season was written when we started that first day of shooting, so I knew exactly where it was going.
"I also knew that he [writer Tom Moran] had a season 2 and a season 3 planned out."

What is the plot of The Devil's Hour season 2?
An official synopsis for season 2 reads: "The Devil’s Hour season 2 sees Lucy (Raine) and Gideon (Capaldi) forming an uneasy alliance in order to prevent a recurring tragedy and hunt down an elusive monster."
The synopsis continues: "Lucy’s double life sees her torn between family and duty as she finds herself in the crosshairs of her past-life husband, DI Ravi Dhillon (Patel).
"Assisting Dhillon in his investigation is DS Sam Boyd (Hocking), who was mentored by DI Lucy Chambers in a previous life.
"Meanwhile, Isaac (Benjamin Chivers) is discovering new emotions every day and struggling to keep his balance in a reality that rejects his existence.
"Fresh mysteries unfold as our stories converge on one explosive moment that will change the fate of our characters for the rest of their ever-recurring lives."
