Scheduled to premiere on October 28, the upcoming series plays on the concept of a so-called "Devil's Hour," or when someone wakes up at a time between 03:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. m. and 04:00 a.m. m. and experience inexplicably strange events.

Lucy wakes up every night at exactly 3:33 a.m. m. and she struggles to make sense of her strange visions and recent strange events, including her mother's deteriorating health, her son's emotional unavailability, and the trail of gruesome murders she seeks. desperately. an explanation. Gideon, who has a "warped relationship with time," helps Lucy find the answers she's been miserably seeking...but is she "playing a game" or will they "play" him?
Stars: Phil Dunster, Jessica Raine, Peter Capaldi
Capaldi previously explained via RadioTimes that the nature of the upcoming show is incredibly somber, which can be quite entertaining. "It all starts with the scripts, and Tom's scripts were wonderful and inventive and such a brilliant idea at the core. One aspect of this is that you should listen to your nightmares, because they may be communicating with you in some way," he said. the actor shared, joking about his character's key role in Lucy's life, saying, "Jess plays a character that Gideon has absolutely turned to. He's coming for her, he's coming for his son, they won't stop him. But the reason why he's doing it isn't what you think...or maybe it is."
That's the premise behind the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series "The Devil's Hour," which received an official trailer this morning that kicks off the exciting mystery.
The teaser and images reveal a first look at Jessica Raine (Patrick Melrose), Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), Nikesh Patel (Starstruck), and Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso) in the series.
The series follows the story of Lucy, played by Raine, who wakes up every night with terrifying visions at exactly 3:33 am: the devil's hour. Her eight-year-old son is withdrawn and emotionless. Her mother speaks to the empty chairs. Her house is haunted by the echoes of a life that is not hers. When Lucy's name is inexplicably linked to a series of brutal murders in the area, the answers that have eluded her all these years will finally come into focus. Capaldi plays a lonely nomad, driven by a murderous obsession. He becomes the primary target of a police manhunt led by compassionate detective Ravi Dhillon, played by Patel.
Capaldi pokes fun at his character: “The nature of the piece is spectacularly dark and it's been nice to play. He is a character that has fallen into oblivion and is responsible for some serious crimes. But he is not what he seems. He belongs to the night.
Adds Raine, “Lucy wakes up every night at 3:33 a.m. m. and she has done it all her life, but she doesn't know why. She has an eight year old son who is completely blank and is trying to get to the bottom of why her son has no emotions. On top of this, there are a number of dark events going on around her and she could be the connection. She is on the brink of madness."
