Peter Capaldi is set to return for two more seasons of the Amazon Prime thriller The Devils House alongside Jessica Raine.
Much of the main cast from season one will be returning, including the Doctor Who actor, Raine, Nikesh Patel, Phil Dunster, Meera Syal and Benjamin Chivers while the streamer teased that new characters will be introduced.
Prime Video revealed the second series will show Gideon’s true intentions will finally be revealed as he attempts to involve Lucy in his mission to stop an elusive force of evil. They have also noted that it will "simultaneously a sequel and a prequel to the first chapter" and that viewers should "expect nothing but the unexpected…".
The show's writer and creator Tom Moran said: "Telling a story on television is a precarious business. Season 1 of The Devil’s Hour was just the beginning - the opening act of a TV novel. I’m so thrilled that we get to keep turning those pages and slotting the puzzle pieces into place."
He continued: "If you thought the final episode of season one had all the answers, then you haven’t been asking the right questions."
Meanwhile Dan Grabiner, head of UK Originals at Amazon Studios, said: "We’re thrilled with the audience response to The Devil’s Hour, and can’t wait to share the next chapter of this mind-bending story."
He continued: "Fans can look forward to plenty more twists and turns in this remarkable tale from first-time series creator Tom Moran, and welcoming back our immensely talented cast, led by Jessica Raine and Peter Capaldi."
This news comes after Capaldi was honoured at the BAFTA Scotland awards in Glasgow last weekend as he was awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Film and Television. He thanked The Thick of It writer Armando Iannuci as well as his parents, who taught him "everything I know".
Capaldi also gave a nod to fellow Scot and the new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa, who was nominated for best actor. Holding the award, he said: "I think this is really an award for getting lucky, for being lucky enough to be born in Scotland."
