Several of the biggest shows on Prime Video came to an end in 2026. The most high-profile was The Boys, Eric Kripke's defining series in an era of superhero fatigue, which has won a total of five Primetime Emmys. Karl Urban's Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid's Hughie Campbell, Antony Starr's Homelander, and more all returned for an explosive, epic conclusion to this hard-hitting series, with the ambitious last chapter paying off, as an average of 57 million viewers tuned in per episode, making Season 5 the most-watched in the show's history. Other examples of recent hits for the platform include the sci-fi Western Fallout as well as Alan Ritchson's monster-hit action thriller saga Reacher.
A similarly immersive gem is also coming to an end on Prime Video this year, as the psychological thriller series The Devil's Hour prepares for its final dance. Peter Capaldi will officially return one last time as the mysterious serial killer Gideon Shepherd, following the shocking Season 2 cliffhanger that saw him shoot Lucy (Jessica Raine) in the head, hoping to trigger a "reset" of the timeline.
This different version of Lucy, haunted by echoes of her former lives, will join Capaldi's Gideon in Season 3, which will now know will debut on Prime Video on Friday, December 4. "Lucy remembers her life as a police detective, when she failed to prevent a series of terrorist acts," a synopsis for Season 3 reads, continuing:
"She remembers Gideon Shepherd, the serial killer who warned her the attacks were coming. Now she has been born again, neither a mother nor a police officer, but haunted by the memories of both. With only Gideon to turn to, Lucy teams up with her old foe to hunt down the monstrous child-killer who has evaded her across multiple lifetimes."
Four criminal masterminds. One of them was always going to be yours. Here is who comes for you, why they picked you out of everyone available, and what they want from the encounter.
Your nemesis does not want to beat you. He wants to know you completely, and he is patient enough to wait for it. The frightening part is how good the conversation is.
Your nemesis is not after money, territory or revenge. He is after a demonstration, and you are the person he has chosen to prove his point on.
Your nemesis respects you, which sounds flattering until you work out what it means. He chose you because nobody else was worth his time.
Your nemesis has no personal interest in you whatsoever, and that is precisely what makes him unsurvivable. You are not a rival. You are a stop on the way.
Nikesh Patel of Starstruck fame returns as DI Ravi Dhillon alongside Capaldi and Raine in The Devil's Hour Season 3, and he is joined by several other recognizable faces. This includes Meera Syal (Goodness Gracious Me), Saffron Hocking (Top Boy), and Phil Dunster, who is best known for portraying Jamie Tartt in the Apple TV smash-hit series Ted Lasso. The Devil's Hour was always intended as a three-part story, with little likelihood that any Season 3 success could change the decision to bring the show to an end.
The Devil's Hour Season 3 officially premieres exclusively on Prime Video on December 4. For all the latest stories, make sure to stay tuned to Collider.
