As a cinephile who’s seen his fair share of supernatural crime thrillers, I must say that the trailer for Amazon Prime Video‘s The Devil’s Hour Season 2 has me absolutely intrigued! With Peter Capaldi and Jessica Raine reprising their roles as Gideon Shepherd and Lucy Chambers respectively, this series is shaping up to be a gripping tale of mystery and suspense.
Amazon’s Prime Video has unveiled the initial teaser for their highly praised series. The returning stars, Peter Capaldi (famous for Doctor Who) and Jessica Raine (Call The Midwife, Becoming Elizabeth), will reprise their roles as Gideon and Lucy in this chilling supernatural crime drama. Last season focused on social worker Lucy Chambers who experienced nightly, terrifying visions at 3:33 a.m., often referred to as “the devil’s hour”. The story delved into her enigmatic bond with the serial killer Gideon Shepherd, his awareness of Lucy, and the eerie occurrences she endured.
Season 1 of “The Devil’s Hour” ended with a suspenseful cliffhanger, unveiling Lucy’s link to Gideon and the recent killings in the plotline. Initially planned as a trilogy, the show was greenlit for both seasons 2 and 3 way back in November 2022. The first installment of this series was met with rave reviews upon its debut, earning an astounding 88% from audiences and 95% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a nomination for an Emmy Award.
What to Expect In The Devil’s Hour Season 2
In its second season, the Emmy-nominated thriller continues to follow Lucy Chambers as she navigates the aftermath of an unforeseen catastrophe, struggling with her present and past while a questionable future hangs in the balance. A sneak peek at the trailer suggests Gideon may be enticing Lucy into a potentially dangerous partnership. In their recent press release, Amazon Prime Video has disclosed that the official synopsis for Season 2 confirms that Lucy will team up with Gideon despite the precarious nature of this alliance. The summary goes on to describe:
In Lucy’s dual existence, she is caught up in a dilemma between family obligations and duty as DI Ravi Dhillon (Nikesh Patel), her former husband from another life, poses a threat. DS Sam Boyd, mentored by Lucy in the past, now works alongside Dhillon in their ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, Isaac (Benjamin Chivers) grapples with new feelings and struggles to maintain his equilibrium in a world that denies his existence. Fresh puzzles emerge as our narratives intersect towards a single dramatic instance that will forever alter the course of our characters’ perpetual lives.
In the upcoming season, we’ll see some fresh faces join the cast, among them Saffron Hocking portraying Sam Boyd, a former detective who worked with Lucy in a previous existence. Nikesh Patel and Phil Dunster will reprise their roles as detectives Ravi Dhillon and Mike Stevens, respectively, both characters being significant to Lucy’s storyline. During the Prime Video Presents: Trailblazers event, they hinted at what season two has in store for us.
In Season two, many questions left unanswered in Season one are addressed, providing an exhilarating journey brimming with subtle Easter eggs. Viewers find themselves playing detective, gradually fitting together a complex jigsaw that keeps you hooked. If you pay close attention, the payoff is worth it, and it feels incredibly fulfilling – similar to completing a challenging 2000-piece puzzle.
