THE DEVIL’S HOUR
The Devil’s Hour is a new series that tells the story of a woman who wakes up every night at exactly 3.33AM, in the middle of the so-called devil’s hour. Lucy Chambers’ eight-year-old son is withdrawn and emotionless. Her mother speaks to empty chairs. Her house is haunted by the echoes of a life that isn’t her own. Now, when her name is inexplicably connected to a string of brutal murders in the area, the answers that have evaded her all these years will finally come into focus. The Devil’s Hour debuted at Number 1 on Amazon Prime and was commissioned for a further 2 Seasons just three weeks after release. It has been nominated for an International EMMY for Best Drama.
