Love Dracula novels? Meet Showtime’s next drama-horror-thriller series, Penny Dreadful!
Those of you who have Showtime on Demand or Showtime Anywhere (still need that Chromecast-compatible, though), have access to their rich library of many series including Homeland, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex, and Californication among others. Showtime is readying their next series, hopeful to hit big with the masses entitled Penny Dreadful.
Created by Juan Antonio Bayona (previous work on The Orphanage and The Impossible), Penny Dreadful was an original show for the UK that eventually landed with Showtime last holiday when filming and editing was complete. The Drama-horror-thriller features some of literature’s most popular and intimidating characters in the likes of Dr. Frankenstien, Dorian Gray and many more of your favorites from the novel Dracula. Hit the jump to watch all of the craziness embroiled in 19th century Victorian-London for the pilot premiere of Penny Dreadful.
Look for the official premiere coming Sunday May 11th at 10pm ET/PT on Showtime.
