The former 'Doctor Who' boss and Sue Vertue - who he worked with on 'Sherlock' and 'Dracula' - will exec produce the six-part series created and written by newcomer Tom Moran.
The synopsis reads: "Have you ever woken in the middle of the night and felt like something wasn’t quite right?
"You may have woken during the 'Devil’s Hour' – the hour between 3am and 4am, or 3.33am specifically, regarded as a time when unexplainable things can occur.
"'The Devil’s Hour' follows the story of Lucy Chambers, who wakes up every night at exactly 3.33am. Her eight-year-old son is withdrawn and emotionless.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."
Filming is set to start on the UK production later this year, while casting details and a launch date "will be announced in due course".
Georgia Brown - Director of European Amazon Originals for Prime Video - said: "'The Devil’s Hour' is a gripping story from an exciting new voice, with a dream team behind and in front of the camera.
"We’re thrilled to be working with Tom, Steven and Sue on this new project, and we can’t wait to share news of the great British talent set to feature in this series.”
Sue, CEO of Hartswood Films, added: “We are genuinely delighted to be one of the first UK Originals that Prime Video has commissioned and are thrilled that Tom Moran and his big brain have trusted Hartswood and Johnny Allan the director with the wonderful task of bringing his scripts to life.”
