Showtime has released the first image from Penny Dreadful‘s upcoming third season, and it features a straitjacketed Vanessa being comforted by psychiatrist Dr. Seward (new series regular Patti LuPone) in what looks like a padded cell.
Penny Dreadful was so fond of Patti LuPone — who had a memorable Season 2 arc as the ill-fated Cut-Wife — that the acclaimed period thriller is bringing the actress back for Season 3, but in a completely different series-regular role.
Since announcing Penny Dreadful was renewed for the 3rd season back in july, Showtime is slowly giving details about what’s come ahead for the horror show.
You Know Him From: Broadway’s Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark (as Peter Parker); Showtime’s gothic-horror series Penny Dreadful (as omnisexual Dorian Gray); Taylor Swift’s music video for “I Knew You Were Trouble” (as the “trouble”)
