Last Updated on July 22, 2021

We were big fans of Showtime's gothic horror series "Penny Dreadful" here at AITH, bringing you our reviews of the acclaimed first season throughout its run. If you missed it when it originally aired or just want to revisit the series again then you'll be excited to hear that "Penny Dreadful" The Complete First Season" is heading to DVD and Blu-ray on October 14.

PENNY DREADFUL, starring Josh Hartnett (BLACK HAWK DOWN), Timothy Dalton (THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS) and Eva Green (CASINO), completely reinvents literature’s most famous characters. Icons of terror such as Victor Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and timeless figures from Dracula join a core of original characters in a dark and brutal quest to save a soul – even as they grapple with their own monstrous temptations.

The series also stars Reeve Carney (SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK), Rory Kinnear (SKYFALL), Billie Piper ("Doctor Who"), Danny Sapani and Harry Treadaway. A co-production of Sky Atlantic, PENNY DREADFUL was created, written and executive produced by John Logan and executive produced by Logan's Desert Wolf Productions, along with Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, Call The Midwife), both of Neal Street.
