It's not much, but Showtime has delivered your first look at the second season of their popular horror series "Penny Dreadful". Looks like Josh Hartnett and Eva Green are getting all snuggly, to which I say, "F*ck you, Hartnett, you lucky bastard!" Just kidding, he's terrific.
The new season of "Penny Dreadful" is currently filming in Ireland with an eye toward debuting on Showtime in 2015. Also returning for the second season are Timothy Dalton, Billie Piper and Harry Treadaway. Danny Sapani, Helen McCrory, Douglas Hodge and Russell Beale have joined the cast as regulars.
Here's the second season's official synopsis:
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.
