Showtime has unraveled the latest trailer for Season 3 of the British-American horror drama TV series “Penny Dreadful” and it looks like the show plans to scare its fans and loyal viewers out of their wits.
The new trailer of “Penny Dreadful” Season 3 showed Ethan Chandler, played by Josh Hartnett, returning to New Mexico in the US. New Mexico is where Ethan grew up and first experienced a werewolf attack, which evidently turned him into a werewolf.
Apparently, Season 3 of “Penny Dreadful” will dwell on the backstory of Ethan and how he became a werewolf. In fact, in the new trailer, the succeeding sequences that was shown after his return to New Mexico featured blood, murder, death, and haunting, reports Breathecast.
The plotline about Ethan’s return to his hometown is how it would affect him, the place, and the people around him.
In addition to the backstory of Ethan Chandler, “Penny Dreadful” Season 3 shall also feature the backstories of the other main characters. It would really be interesting for fans to see the backstory of Sir Malcolm Murray, played by Timothy Dalton, who is also one of the main protagonists of the TV series, although a glimpse of it was already shown during the first two seasons.
“Penny Dreadful” is mostly about Vanessa Ives, played by Eva Green, and how she is dealing with her good as well as her dark side. The first two seasons of “Penny Dreadful” already gave a good glimpse of her backstory too and how she has become connected, in a way, with Sir Malcolm Murray.
Toeing the line between sanity and insanity
The latest trailer of “Penny Dreadful” Season 3 also showed Vanessa toeing the line between sanity and insanity.
Most of the critics believe that the latest trailer of the TV series created by showrunner John Logan looks really stylish. It also pushed the envelope further with its gothic visuals and aesthetics, notes We Got This Covered.
Just like in its first two seasons, “Penny Dreadful” Season 3 shall be focusing on the tortured past of its core leads in style.
In addition to the three main characters, there is also Dorian Gray, played by Reeve Carney, Lily Frankenstein, played by Billie Piper, Victor Frankenstein, played by Harry Treadaway, and the Creature, played by Rory Kinnear.
The eerie side of Vanessa
Season 3 of “Penny Dreadful” is already set to air on May 1 on Showtime and based on the promotional photos and the show’s first official trailer, it will focus on the uncanny, albeit eerie, side of Vanessa Ives, played by Eva Green, and the other main characters.
The first official trailer of “Penny Dreadful” Season 3 is titled “Embrace Your Dark Side” which means that in addition to Vanessa, the other members of the gothic gang including Ethan Chandler, Sir Malcolm Murray, and Victor Frankenstein will also show their eerie side.
There is also Dorian Gray and Lily Frankenstein who seem ready to become the main villains of the third season.
And then there is the Creature who was last seen sailing through icy waters to get away from it all. He was shown in the Season 3 first trailer too so it means that he is going to be back and possibly take his revenge not on Victor, but on Lily and Dorian.
In addition to the main cast of characters, a new series regular will also be joining the third season of “Penny Dreadful” in the person of Patti LuPone, who shall be taking on the role of American psychiatrist Dr. Seward.
Who cares about PATTIE LUPONE, they also have WES STUDI, talented CHEROKEE ACTOR and Veteran of many more films than half this cast
