Created and written by John Logan, Penny Dreadful is a psychological thriller filled with dark mystery and suspense, where personal demons from the past can be stronger than vampires, evil spirits or immortal beasts. Some of literature's most terrifying characters, including Dorian Gray, Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula are lurking in the darkest corners of Victorian London. They are joined by a core of original characters in a complex, frightening new narrative.
The three seasons received much critical acclaim, along with 13 Primetime Emmy nominations, as well as a Golden Globe nomination for lead actress Eva Green, and won three BAFTA Awards.
A Neal Street and Desert Wolf Production for Showtime and Sky Atlantic.
