The Showtime press release then stated that Showtime is fully supportive of the series because of the brilliant writing of John Logan. It added that the amazingly talented ensemble of the TV series continues to draw a passionate, global fan base into the meticulously crafted world of “Penny Dreadful.”
Production and filming for Season 3 of “Penny Dreadful” have begun in Dublin, Ireland sometime in November. But the first official photo that came out from the set showed nothing of the setting as it only featured the returning Patti LuPone as American psychiatrist Dr. Seward comforting Vanessa Ives wearing a straightjacket in what looks a padded cell.
The image prompted fans to assume that Vanessa Ives will be committed in an asylum. Reports also have it that Dr. Seward shall be treating Vanessa through an unconventional approach. It can be recalled that during the Season 2 finale of “Penny Dreadful”, Vanessa’s faith in God has reached its limits and she was even seen burning the cross on the fireplace.
The good news for the fans of the show is that Patti LuPone will not just be returning as a guest star but as a regular cast member of the popular TV series.
But the latest photo leak about the filming of “Penny Dreadful” already showed the undead Lily and Ethan Chandler already on location.
