Good news, dreadfuls! Showtime’s original series Penny Dreadful will live to see another day in the year 2015.
According to Showtime, Penny Dreadful has been renewed for a second season after only four episodes. The second season will also consist of ten episodes and will start production in Dublin for a 2015 launch.
Penny Dreadful pulled in a massive number of views for the first episode before the premiere even debuted on Showtime: 900,000. That’s the biggest sneak preview Showtime has ever had — and Penny Dreadful has become the network’s most watched new show on Showtime on Demand.
