Penny Dreadful was a hit when it debuted last year, and it didn’t take long for the Gothic horror series to receive the green light for a second season. It returns in the US to Showtime on May 3rd, and should hopefully follow shortly after on Sky. Today, a new batch of posters for Penny Dreadful have been released.

They feature three of the main cast members (Eva Green, Josh Hartnett, and Timothy Dalton) and then another just with Green’s character as she follows a trail of blood through the snow in a haunting image.

Penny Dreadful will return with ten episodes will find Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) and Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) forming a deeper bond as the group, including Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and Sembene (Danny Sapani), unite to banish evil forces that threaten to destroy them.

Meanwhile, Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), the Creature (Rory Kinnear) and Brona (Billie Piper) are all waging battles of their own. Two-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone will guest star as a mysterious character of great importance in Vanessa’s past. Helen McCrory also returns as Evelyn Poole (a.k.a. Madame Kali), the seductive spiritualist who will pose a unique threat to Penny Dreadful’s protagonists this season.

Simon Russell Beale is back as eccentric Egyptologist Ferdinand Lyle, while additional guest stars include Douglas Hodge as a Scotland Yard investigator; Sarah Greene as Poole’s powerful daughter, Hecate; and Jonny Beauchamp as a man with a singular past. Are you looking forward to the return of Penny Dreadful?
