Penny Dreadful: trailer

Wow. Loving the look of this gothic series coming to Foxtel later this year.

Penny Dreadful is a John Logan / Sam Mendes-produced horror drama set in Victorian London and features characters such as Frankenstein and Dracula. It stars Josh Hartnett, Eva Green and Timothy Dalton.

Foxtel Director of Television Brian Walsh recently told TV Tonight, “I think Penny Dreadful is really exciting. It’s produced by CBS for Showtime in the UK. It’s all shot in London and some of the legendary characters who appear will give this concept great potential to run as an ongoing series. It’s a fresh piece of drama and the quality of the trailer and rushes I’ve seen look terrific. It’s beautifully shot, with strong performances and it will be for Showcase.”

It is expected to air in May.
