Devil in Ohio release date and plot preview
Devil in Ohio crawled onto Netflix on Friday, September 2, 2022.
Starring Emily Deschanel and Madeleine Arthur, the series tells the story of psychiatrist Dr Suzanne Mathis who meets a young woman named Mae who arrived at the hospital with a gnarly wound on her back.
After failing to find a foster home for Mae, Suzanne agrees to look after the girl herself, but all is not as it seems with Mae and it quickly becomes clear that she was once part of a satanic cult.
Suzanne’s decision to welcome Mae into her home not only threatens to turn her family’s lives upside down but also puts them in potentially grave danger.
How many episodes are in Devil in Ohio?
Devil in Ohio consists of eight episodes in total.
Like most releases on Netflix, all eight chapters of the thriller were released in one go, meaning fans can binge the series at their own pace.
With each episode having a runtime between 40-49 minutes, the total length of the series stands at 351 minutes (five hours and 51 minutes) which gives viewers plenty of content to delve into.
The titles of the eight episodes are as follows:
- Episode 1 | Broken Fall
- Episode 2 | Sanctuary
- Episode 3 | Mother’s Keeper
- Episode 4 | Rely-upon
- Episode 5 | Alight
- Episode 6 | My Love and I
- Episode 7 | By Blood
- Episode 8 | The Dawning
Will the series return for season 2?
No, Devil in Ohio is not expected to return for a second season on Netflix.
That’s because the thriller has been billed as a limited series by the streamer, meaning its story will be told over one season before ending.
It’s not impossible for limited series to be renewed for more with recent examples including The White Lotus, Your Honor, Big Little Lies and 13 Reasons Why but it is a rare occurrence.
What hinders Devil in Ohio’s slim chances of renewal is the fact it’s based on a single novel by author Daria Polatin which does not have a sequel.
Devil in Ohio is available to stream now on Netflix after premiering on September 2, 2022.
