Showtime held their TCA panel this week and with it, of course, came the highly anticipated trailer for Penny Dreadful‘s second season.

The trailer is over two minutes long and, unlike the teaser trailer, includes footage from every major character and plot in the series. Yes, this even includes footage of Billie Piper as Brona, which was one of the (several) reasons why fans decided to give this series a go.

“Do you believe the past can return?” Vanessa asks, to which Malcolm Murray responds, “More than that. It never leaves us.” The beginning of the trailer shows us shots of a couple characters where we last left them: Victor with Brona, trying to get her to come back to life for Caliban; and Ethan waking up from the bloody bar fight he got in at the end of the last season (where he also turned into a werewolf).

The rest of the trailer continues to show up creepy scenes that range from Vanessa drawing with blood to the antagonist of the season, Madam Kali, bathing in blood. It’s also Madam Kali that sings the song from the trailer, “The Unquiet Grave,” in a far more slow and macabre way than the original.

Showtime did announce that Penny Dreadful will return this spring on April 26 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern. So that only leaves us over four months away from the premiere! All cast are set to return, including Billie Piper, Eva Greene, Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton, Harry Treadaway, Reeve Carney, Danny Sapani, Helen McRory and Simon Russell Beale.

What do you think of the ‘Penny Dreadful’ season 2 trailer?

Are you looking forward to this second season? We have to say the bit we’re particularly excited about is Brona coming back from the dead, but we hope she lasts way longer than poor Proteus.
