While a fourth season of “Penny Dreadful” already looks remote from the standpoints of David Nevins and John Logan, it seems that the rumor mills have given the idea a new lease on life when reports started coming out that a comics version of the TV series is reportedly now in the works.
The materialization of “Penny Dreadful” comics is definitely being taken by fans and critics as a good sign that the show could get a fourth season as well.
Or, it could also be the handiwork of some creative fans to come up with a Season 4 of “Penny Dreadful” in the comic books and when it comes out really well, they can lobby it to Showtime, which might reconsider giving it a go.
Based on the rumored storyline of the speculated comics of “Penny Dreadful,” Vanessa Ives will be brought back to life and the story would continue from there.
It is also possible that the producers have decided to take the comics version as a way of lobbying for a fourth season of “Penny Dreadful” considering that the popular post-apocalyptic horror survival drama TV series “The Walking Dead” on AMC has a comic book version, which it is already using as its main source material.
