Hints Falling Fast for Penny Dreadful Season Two 

Hints Falling Fast for Penny Dreadful Season Two

After a rich and fast paced first season, Penny Dreadful will be returning to Showtime for a second season and we can only expect to see more beautiful gothic sets, nuanced performances and plots that twist. While the mystery of Mina might well be wrapped up, there are still plenty of threads to follow and and creator John Logan says that along with exploring the source material, Penny Dreadful will be adding to its cast in season two. But what exactly can we expect to see?

Season one featured an entire episode delving into the history of Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) and — to a certain extent — into the life of Sir Malcolm Murray (Timothy Dalton). But the rest of the cast has yet to see much screen time spent on their lives before coming together in the show. With only ten episodes in season two, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see an exclusive episode for the history of each of the remaining main cast as we did for Miss Ives, but it would be neat to see a couple explore character background in depth.

Hints from late night shooting on the set seem to point to learning more about Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) at least next season. Given the bloody ending to season one — with Chandler appearing to take out his Pinkerton stalkers in full wolf form — it seems like a great jumping off point for this next season. What better place to learn about a werewolf than under a full moon?

Other characters due for a return in season two are Brona Croft (Billie Piper), presumably as resurrected by Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway). Given Frankenstein’s track record with his creations — the murderous Caliban and the murdered Proteus (played by Rory Kinnear and Alex Price respectively) — it’ll be interesting to see how the creator differentiates between his undead progeny.

But with the vampires dealt with in season one and the heroes clearly established, what we’re really missing is a new baddie. Logan indicates that we may have meet his new villain already. In an interview he mentions that Madame Kali (Helen McGrory) will join the regular cast in season two, but this time as an antagonist. It looks like Penny Dreadful isn’t neglecting the human monsters for season two.

Penny Dreadful will be back on Showtime in 2015. What do you expect in the next season of this fantastic horror pastiche?
