“Penny Dreadful” was Showtime’s breakout hit this past year, and has been renewed for a longer second season with an expected release date in January 2015.

“Penny Dreadful” is essentially a Victorian Era mashup, stories involve popular characters such as Mina Harker, Abraham Van Helsing, Dorian Gray, and Victor Frankenstein and his monster. Its funny that this concept ended the career of one James Bond (Sean Connery in “League of Extrodinary Gentleman” and is reinvigorating the career of another James Bond, Timothy Dalton.

Shooting on the new season started last week, and various crew members have been tweeting photos and updates. The cast includes Reeve Carney, Timothy Dalton, Eva Green, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper, Danny Sapani, Harry Treadaway, Josh Hartnett, Simon Russell Beale, and Helen McCrory.
