But mostly I think Gideon is a kind of strange, kind of melancholic, kind of cosmic vibe.
I think it’s a Jeff Buckley song, but their verse is ethereal and strange.
And so I find that useful to plug into.

JESSICA RAINE: Yes, I had a Devil’s Hour playlist.
I do this for every character I ever have.
There’s multiple playlists on my phone.
The Devil’s Hour is a psychological thriller that premiered in 2022, exploring the life of a woman who wakes up every night at exactly 3:33 a.m. and experiences unsettling visions. As she seeks answers, she becomes entangled in a series of mysterious events that challenge her perception of reality. The show’s intricate narrative and atmospheric tension offer a compelling viewing experience.
And what did I have?
To sidebar for a second: Peter, you mentioned music.
What was the motivation behind getting back in the studio, working with the same producers for another one?
CAPALDI: Just because it was fun.
I liked doing it and it was enjoyable making the first one.
And it wasn’t to try and be a pop star or anything or to change my career.
And I thought, oh, this is brilliant.
RAINE: That sounds incredible.
CAPALDI: Thank you.
So I just wanted to do more.
SoI take it seriously, but really I don’t expect it to go anywhere.
I just like doing it.
CAPALDI: I’m lucky because I know musicians, so they help me.
So was it a challenge to find her mindset for the season?
Or did you find a through line between D.I.
Lucy and social worker Lucy?
So there’s the obvious ways of this.
She looks very different, which is a great visual cue for the audience.
ButI wanted to make her quite tough.
She seemed to get this reaction out of people and it’s really nice to see Lucy in control.
CAPALDI: Well, I think the script really provided the road map for us, really.
It wasn’t a terribly active kind of role.
I don’t want to be anywhere near him.
And then season two is, h, I have to be near him.
Okay, we’ve got a common goal that we need to do to complete.
And I think the testiness and spike of the relationship was really fun to play with.
CAPALDI: Yeah, it was great.
While at the same time we’re dealing with an elemental force that’s coming to get us.
The Devils Hour Season 2 premieres on Prime Video on October 18.
The show’s intricate narrative and atmospheric tension offer a compelling viewing experience.
