Full Trailer for PENNY DREADFUL Season 2
Showtime has released a full trailer for the second season of their fantastically dark series Penny Dreadful. This is a great show and a must watch for anyone who is into gothic horror. The first season was fantastic, and the upcoming season looks great. Here’s the synopsis for Season 2, as well as some additional information:
The new season will see Vanessa (Green) and Ethan (Hartnett) forming a deeper bond as the group, including Sir Malcolm (Dalton), Dr. Frankenstein (Treadaway), and Sembene (Sapani), unite to banish the evil forces that threaten to destroy them. Meanwhile, Dorian Gray (Carney), the Creature (Kinnear) and Brona (Piper) are all waging battles of their own.
Guest stars include Patti LuPone as “a mysterious character of great importance in Vanessa’s past.” Helen McCrory will return as Evelyn Poole (Madame Kali), a spiritualist who will “pose a unique threat to our protagonists”. Simon Russell Beale will play an “eccentric Egyptologist” named Ferdinand Lyle. Other 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.”
Series creator, executive producer, and writer John Logan said in a statement,
“This season Vanessa and Ethan 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.”
The series is set to return on Sunday, April 26th at 10pm ET/PT.
