After much anticipation from the show’s fans, “Penny Dreadful” is finally starting to take some shape for its third season. And even though we admittedly still don’t know too much about the upcoming new episodes, we’ve recently seen an official picture from them as well as a synopsis of the entire season. And while that’s still not that much, it’s been enough to give fans something to talk about and it’s driven up the interest in the new season quite a bit.
The still shows Vanessa and Dr. Seward together in a padded room, and there is no context to it, although it does leave some strong implications. Fans have been curious to see what the producers are going to do with the relationship between the two characters, and since this is the first still that they’ve chosen to officially release, it can probably be assumed that this relationship will be a major point in the plot of the new season.
According to the official synopsis, we’re going to see some characters returning from the previous seasons, and there will be various new additions to the cast as well. Dr. Seward, the highly anticipated character that has been rumored for some time, will be a regular on the show. He will be responsible for Vanessa’s treatment, where he will be using some new methods that are described as “unconventional”, so we can only guess what this could imply.
The producers of this show definitely know how to introduce some interesting plot twists as they’ve shown us throughout the first two seasons, but at the same time they don’t overdo this either. Because of this, when something more dramatic does happen on the show, it’s usually carefully calculated and has an interesting impact on the story as a whole. We’re curious what this could mean for the relationship between Dr. Seward and Vanessa, and this could be a popular theme on the show for its fans.
We’re also reportedly going to see various guest stars coming back from the first season, and new guest stars will include Shazad Latif in the role of Dr. Jekyll, Christian Carmargo as Dr. Alexander Sweet, and Sam Barnett in the role of an unnamed character who will be the secretary of Dr. Seward. All in all, it looks like the producers have gathered an interesting cast and they are ready to throw some exciting developments in the plot of the show.
The choices for the cast of the new season seem to have some implications for how the show will proceed as well, according to some fans. It’s becoming quite apparent that the producers of “Penny Dreadful” want to create some interesting connections between their characters, and this of course requires the use of carefully chosen skilled actors who can deliver in the appropriate roles. And looking at the cast for season 3, this seems to be the case here.
Of course, the producers are likely hiding some surprises that they aren’t letting us in on, and they would be smart to hold off on some of the juicier details until the release of the new season gets closer. That will take some time at this point, so the producers have plenty of opportunities to release their information in a carefully controlled manner and engage their fans as actively as they want to. Through the last two seasons, we saw them regularly releasing information about the show’s upcoming episodes, so we expect this trend to continue during season 3 as well.
