Peter Capaldi is back as a haunting serial killer in the all-new season of The Devil’s Hour. Streaming later this month, the critically acclaimed psychological thriller will continue the story of Lucy Chambers (Jessica Raine), a woman caught up in the hunt for serial killer Gideon (Capaldi).

As per the official synopsis, the new five-part season is simultaneously a sequel and a prequel to the first chapter and sees Lucy and Gideon forming an uneasy alliance in order to prevent a recurring tragedy and hunt down an elusive monster. 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 (Nikesh Patel).

Assisting Dhillon in his investigation is DS Sam Boyd (Saffron Hocking) who was mentored by DI Lucy Chambers in a previous life. Season two will see fresh mysteries unfold as stories converge on one explosive moment that will change the fate of its characters for the rest of their ever-recurring lives.

The Devil’s Hour is fronted by Patrick Melrose star Jessica Raine and Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi. They star alongside Starstruck’s Nikesh Patel, Ted Lasso’s Phil Dunster and Yesterday’s Meera Syal, with Top Boy’s Saffron Hocking joining the cast for season two.

The first season earned overwhelmingly positive reviews and currently boasts a 95 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, with a third and final season already in the works. Speaking at a Prime Video event earlier this month, Raine said season two will reward viewers by answering lingering questions from season one, offering a ‘thrilling experience’ filled with hidden Easter eggs.

“The audience becomes the detective, piecing together a jigsaw puzzle which you have to keep watching,” she said. “If you really concentrate, you are rewarded, and the reward is truly satisfying, like completing a 2000-piece jigsaw puzzle.” Here’s when The Devil’s Hour season two is released and how you can watch it for free.
