Josh Hartnett talks Penny Dreadful Season 2 in a new promo

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Penny Dreadful makes its Season 2 return with 10-episodes starting on Sunday, May 3rd at 10PM ET/PT. With its premiere just a month away, Showtime has dished out an all-new promo for Season 2, highlighting the darker things to come for Josh Hartnett’s Ethan Chandler. I love this show, it went to some pretty dark places in its first season and is certainly among one of the best horror-focused shows the small screen has to offer. Dig it below!

In Season 2 of “Penny Dreadful”:

Vanessa and Ethan form a deeper bond as the group, including Sir Malcolm, Dr. Frankenstein, and Sembene, unite to banish the evil forces that threaten to destroy them. Meanwhile, Dorian Gray, the Creature and Brona 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.
