ITVX has added the critically acclaimed crime drama The Devil's Hour to its streaming library, available at no extra cost. The series, which originally premiered on Prime Video in 2022, has a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Its second season followed in 2024, and a third season is reportedly in development.
The show follows Lucy Chambers, a social worker who wakes every night at 3:33 AM, the so-called devil's hour. She struggles with unexplainable events: her eight-year-old son is emotionless and claims to see invisible people, her mother speaks to empty chairs, and her house is haunted by echoes of a life not her own. Lucy's name is also linked to a string of brutal murders, drawing her into a serial killer hunt.
The cast includes Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi as a mysterious nomad driven by a murderous obsession, Nikesh Patel as detective Ravi Dhillon, and Call the Midwife's Jessica Raine as Lucy. Ted Lasso star Phil Dunster and The Split's Meera Syal also feature. The second season serves as both a prequel and sequel, offering answers about Capaldi's character.
Good Housekeeping recommends the series for Harlan Coben fans, praising its unpredictability and twists. Viewers have described it as 'an absorbing mind bender' and 'the most chilling show ever'. One fan said: 'The Devil's Hour is absolutely gripping from start to finish. The eerie atmosphere and mind-bending mystery kept me hooked.'
