If you’re caught up and ready to hear more about Season 2, Showtime president David Nevins said during the network’s TCA presentation for hit horror drama “Penny Dreadful,” “It’s a really big cosmology, and it’s gonna get bigger next year.”
What type of villain can fans expect next? Nevins continued, “There’s a great antagonist next year played by Helen McCrory… Season 1’s antagonist was sort of an inhuman character. It’ll be good to have a more human antagonist.” McCrory (pictured above right) plays Madame Kali, the renowned spiritualist and medium who hosted the memorable titular “Seance” in Episode 1.02.
“Penny Dreadful,” the network’s most watched new show On Demand and on ShowtimeAnytime, is making its San Diego Comic-Con debut on Thursday, July 24th. Headlining the opening night of SDCC 2014, “Penny Dreadful’s” panel session, moderated by Emmy Award-nominated actress and host Aisha Tyler, will be presented from 6:00-7:00 pm in Ballroom 20.
A special package of “Penny Dreadful”-inspired tarot cards will be given to all fans who attend the panel session. Additionally, four lucky members of the audience will have the opportunity to win tickets to an exclusive “Penny Dreadful” party that evening.
