Showtime renews Penny Dreadful for third season

June 16, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Good news for Penny Dreadful fans, as Showtime and Sky Atlantic have announced today that they’ve renewed the BAFTA-winning drama for a third season.

“John Logan’s brilliant writing and this amazingly talented ensemble continue to draw a passionate, global fan base into the meticulously crafted world of Penny Dreadful,” said David Nevins, President of Showtime. “Together with our wonderful partners at Sky Atlantic, we’re excited to see what new haunts John and his team have in store for season three.”

“Penny Dreadful is the perfect fit for Sky Atlantic; truly international in scale and ambition but with a raft of British talent at its core, and filmed in the Republic of Ireland.” adds Zai Bennett, Director of Sky Atlantic. “I’m thrilled to have the series returning to the channel, and to once again be partnering with John Logan and continuing to work with our good friends at Showtime.”

The second season of Penny Dreadful is currently airing on Showtime, with its season finale set for July 5th.
