He also explained that they did ask themselves if there was a life for the show without Vanessa Ives and creator John Logan but as the final season was being produced it became apparent that there wasn’t and trying to move forward with a spin-off or fourth season would not do the show justice.
Some fans of the TV series still refuse to believe that it is done and over with for “Penny Dreadful,” saying that the Season 3 finale was forced and that the show deserves at least one more season to give every plotline a satisfying conclusion.
In fact, the petition was initiated with the intention to call the attention of networks, streaming services, and the production members of “Penny Dreadful” that Season 4 must be considered because it is what fans of the show want.
As of end-September, the online petition is just 500 signatures short of its targeted 15,000 but some critics doubt if the move could still change the decision of the producers of “Penny Dreadful.”
In fact, many are saying that even if the petition meets its target of 15,000 signatures, it still does not guarantee the return of “Penny Dreadful” series creator John Logan. Without John Logan, the supposed series continuation would surely be lost.
