Will there be a season 3 of The Devil's Hour?
Will Jessica Raine's Lucy and Peter Capaldi's Gideon be back for more time-twisting mysteries in a third season?
The second season of fantastical thriller series The Devil's Hour has finally arrived on Prime Video, picking up on the dramatic season 1 cliffhanger after two years.
Peter Capaldi has spoken about playing a more "cosmic" version of his character Gideon in the new season, now that his secret is out of the bag following the end of season 1.
The new season also more fully embraces the show's concept of multiple timelines, given that the audience is now aware of the genre it is playing in. However, there is still plenty of twists and turns in this run that they will likely not see coming.
But fans who have already made their way to the end of season 2 will no doubt be wondering if and when the show will be back for a third run. Don't worry – we've got you covered.
Read on for everything you need to know about The Devil's Hour season 3.
Will there be a season 3 of The Devil's Hour?
There will! The Devil's Hour season 3 was confirmed at the same time as season 2, with writer Tom Moran having always envisioned the show as a trilogy.
In fact, season 3 hasn't just been confirmed, it has already been shot, with filming taking place well before season 2 even debuted on Prime Video.
Fans of the series have known for some time now that there are plans for The Devil's Hour to function as a trilogy, with Raine saying back in 2022: "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."
Meanwhile, Sue Vertue, executive producer and CEO of Hartswood Films, said when the recommission for seasons 2 and 3 was first announced: "It goes without saying that we are over the moon to be continuing Lucy’s story with two more series.
"Tom Moran and his big brain have so much more planned for us all. This was always envisioned as a three-series arc, and it’s going to be a thrilling ride."
When will The Devil's Hour season 3 be released?
While there were two years between the release of seasons 1 and 2, fans likely won't have to wait as long to see season 3.
This is because seasons 2 and 3 were filmed in much quicker succession, and season 3 is therefore now already in the can.
Given this, and the fact that the show has thus far kept to an October release date, we would expect that season 3 might arrive in October 2025, one year after season 2.
We will keep this page updated once a release date is confirmed, or if we get any further news regarding it.
Who will return to star in The Devil's Hour season 3?
We know for certain that Jessica Raine and Peter Capaldi will both be back for The Devil's Hour season 3, as a photo was taken of them behind the scenes of filming when it went into production.
However, we certainly wouldn't expect them to be the only ones returning – in fact, we would envision returns for all of the show's major characters, with cast members such as Nikesh Patel and Meera Syal likely to return.
Here's a list of the central cast members from The Devil's Hour season 2, who we would expect to be back for season 3:
- Jessica Raine as Lucy Chambers
- Peter Capaldi as Gideon
- Nikesh Patel as DI Ravi Dhillon
- Benjamin Chivers as Isaac Chambers
- Meera Syal as Dr Ruby Bennett
- Alex Ferns as DS Nick Holness
- Phil Dunster as Mike Stephens
- Barbara Marten as Sylvia Chambers
- Saffron Hocking as Sam Boyd
