Penny Dreadful has been so popular that it’s already been renewed for a season 2.
It will be slightly bigger, with 10 episodes instead of eight.
John Logan will again write each episode.
“I think because it’s a genre show, it has done incredibly well in all the new ways you can watch, beyond any show we'd had before,” said Showtime Networks president David Nevins.
According to Deadline, he said the well-reviewed series was the result of his desire to “create a show that would have credibility with the (Comic-Con) audience” following the end of Dexter, which had done very well with that crowd, “but a show, which is a sophisticated drama that did well with critics and had psychological depth to it.”
Season 2 is slated to premiere in 2015, going into production later this year in Dublin.
