LOS ANGELES, CA – (November 21, 2014) – SHOWTIME is giving viewers the first look photo from the highly anticipated second season of the network’s drama series, PENNY DREADFUL currently in production in Dublin, Ireland for a 2015 debut on the network.
John Logan, series creator and executive producer, says, "This season Vanessa (Eva Green) and Ethan (Josh Hartnett) face new challenges, and old enemies, and turn to each other for solace. Their intimacy grows as they are forced to confront their demons together."
This season, Vanessa and Ethan form a deeper bond as the group, including Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and Sembene (Danny Sapani), unite to banish the evil forces that threaten to destroy them. Meanwhile, Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), the Creature (Rory Kinnear) and Brona (Billie Piper) are all waging battles of their own. Patti LuPone will guest star as a mysterious character of great importance in Vanessa’s past. Helen McCrory returns as Evelyn Poole (a.k.a. Madame Kali), the seductive spiritualist who will pose a unique threat to our protagonists this season, along with Simon Russell Beale, who is back as eccentric Egyptologist Ferdinand Lyle. Additional guest stars include Douglas Hodge as a Scotland Yard investigator; Sarah Greene as Poole’s powerful daughter, Hecate; and Johnny Beauchamp as a man with a singular past.
PENNY DREADFUL is a drama series created, written and executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) and executive produced by Logan's Desert Wolf Productions, along with Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, Call The Midwife), both of Neal Street Productions.

I can't wait for season 2! I miss all these amazing characters, especially Vanessa and Ethan. Also I wonder what will happen to Dorian Gray and how he'll fit in the story now that he had been rejected.
ReplyDeletethis sounds amazing! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYay, so excited! Penny Dreadful was my favorite new show this year.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting (and hoping) the promo photo to be creepy or weird or both. This is something altogether different. I hope this kind of stuff doesn't monopolize the second season.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Vanessa misses Dorian as much as I do....
