In Penny Dreadful, some of literature’s most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel Dracula, all brilliantly reimagined in a whole new light – have become embroiled in Victorian London. The series stars Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton and Eva Green.
Reeve Carney, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper, Harry Treadaway and Danny Sapani also star.
The series is described as a frightening psychosexual thriller created, written and executive produced by John Logann, Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris, both of Neal Street.
Of the eight episodes, the first two will be directed by J.A. Bayona, who helmed The Orphanage.
