‘Penny Dreadful’ Returns In 2015, Watch The First Teaser!

Briefly: Penny Dreadful was one of my favourite new series of 2014. Its short, phenomenal, eight-episode run was over far too quickly, and left me and millions of other fans itching for more.

From the show’s stellar cast, to its impressive production values, to the way incredible way it mixes and crosses over so many literary classics, there’s a lot (a lot) to love in this Victorian horror. In the series, some of literature’s most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel Dracula – have become embroiled in Victorian London. The series is a frightening psychosexual thriller 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), both of Neal Street.

Take a look at the first teaser for next year’s episodes below, and we’ll be sure to share as soon as Showtime releases more.
