The Devil's Hour season 2 premiered exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on October 18, 2024. Fans of the supernatural thriller can look forward to more suspense, mystery, and mind-bending twists as Jessica Raine reprises her role as Lucy Chambers, a social worker haunted by terrifying visions.

Peter Capaldi joins her as Gideon Shepherd, a mysterious character with unclear motives. Other notable cast members include Nikesh Patel as DI Ravi Dhillon, Lucy's past-life husband, and Saffron Hocking as DS Sam Boyd. As the story unfolds, Lucy is torn between her family and her duty, while Gideon's true intentions are slowly revealed.

The Devil's Hour season 2 builds layers to the mystery surrounding Lucy Chambers and Gideon Shepherd. The season revolves around a chilling terrorist attack—a bombing at Rigby's Toys that kills 17 people. The climax manages to avoid this central tragedy, and those 17 people are unharmed.

However, the finale of The Devil's Hour season 2 raises many more questions about alternate realities, reincarnation, and loose ends in relationships. Season 3 has been officially confirmed and fans can expect those questions to be answered soon. However, the release date for the same is not yet announced.


Will Lucy remember her past lives?

The last scene of the season is theatrical as Lucy is shot, seemingly by Gideon, but it remains ambiguous. Thus, if Lucy is indeed dead, it remains to be seen whether she'll remember this life when the cycle continues again.

Throughout The Devil's Hour season 2, Lucy encounters visions of her parallel universes, and Gideon himself becomes a guide of sorts, helping her awaken to the truth of her repeated lives. In this "awakening," Lucy uses knowledge from an alternate version of herself—a police detective to prevent the bombing at the toy store.

Meanwhile, Lucy would probably remember her past life in this and keep it with her lifetime, as Gideon hinted in the show's climax. Gideon proposes that they end their lives and go to the next life because there, the identity of the bomber will come out as they would remember every second of the present events.

Lucy refuses because she cannot let her mother Sylvia and her son Isaac leave her life. The fact that Lucy's death could have been foreseeable is not indicated, but her refusal to accept Gideon's offer may likely result in severe consequences for the next season.


Who is the bomber in The Devil's Hour season 2?

Another vital plot that remains unresolved is the identity of the bomber. Adult Isaac’s unexpected appearance, visiting Gideon in prison, raises suspicions. The cause of the visit is his mother's death, as depicted on the show. Isaac presents this information to Gideon, leading many to speculate Isaac could even have been involved in the bombing.

The show hints that Isaac, who has abilities even beyond Gideon’s, may possess the power to traverse realities—which makes him a wildcard. Although the theory is pretty far-fetched, The Devil's Hour season 2 certainly leaves room for it. Isaac's ability to shift between realities confirms that he could have had a hand in the bombing.

The mysterious, disjointed presentation of the bomber, along with Isaac’s vengeful behavior, makes him a plausible suspect, especially as the show withholds the bomber’s identity until the very end.


What is Dr. Bennett's secret?

In The Devil's Hour season 2, Isaac's psychologist, Dr. Bennett, plays a more central role in the mystery than one would initially think of. As Isaac reveals his abilities, Bennett’s skepticism turns to shock, especially after hearing a recording that seems to capture conversations from an alternate reality.

In one eerie scene, the recording features Bennett interacting with a ghostly young girl named Amelia, who hides out of fear of how she looks. This unsettling scene only makes one wonder what is in Bennett's past life—did she do something fishy? Or perhaps something with alternate worlds is yet to be fully uncovered?


What's in store for The Devil's Hour season 3?

The mystery in The Devil's Hour season 2 leaves more questions than answers, but it sets the stage for an exciting season 3. As mysteries like Lucy's reincarnation and Isaac's increasing power to shift realities remain unanswered, the next season will probably pursue these threads further.

As all the lives and timelines start to connect, the puzzle of who is truly behind the toy store bombing—and why—may finally come to light. Until then, reality, memory, and time remain blurry, keeping the fans on edge. The Devil's Hour continues exploring concepts of reincarnation, alternate realities, and devastating ripple effects from every life lived.


All the episodes of The Devil's Hour season 2 are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. For those who haven't watched the first of the series, The Devil's Hour season 1 is also available on the platform to get started with this thriller.
