Showtime axes Penny Dreadful: City of Angels after one season

August 25, 2020 by Gary Collinson

Showtime has announced that it has swung the axe on the Penny Dreadful spinoff series City of Angels after just one season.

“We decided not to move forward with another season of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels,” reads the official statement from the cable network. “We would like to thank executive producers John Logan, Michael Aguilar and the entire cast and crew for their outstanding work on this project.”

Described as a “spiritual successor” to the Victorian-era horror series and created once again by John Logan, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels took place in Los Angeles in 1938 and featured a cast that included Natalie Dormer, Nathan Lane Daniel Zovatto, Kerry Bishé, Rory Kinnear, Adriana Barraza, Michael Gladis, Jessica Garza, Johnathan Nieves. Recurring guest stars included Lorenza Izzo, Adam Rodriguez, Amy Madigan, Brent Spiner, Lin Shaye, Thomas Kretschmann, Dominic Sherwood, and Ethan Peck.
