The first season of Showtime's "Penny Dreadful" turned out to be quite the treat for horror fans and we've been patiently waiting for the second season to make its way to us, keeping an ear out for any news regarding the sophomore season of this excellent series. Last month we brought you a look at stars Josh Hartnett and Eva Green in our first peek at season 2, and today we've got a new teaser titled "A Curse and A Blessing" to share with ya.

The new season of "Penny Dreadful" has been 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.
