Penny Dreadful turned out to be an unexpected treat for horror fans and work is already underway on the second season. Those looking for behind-the-scenes details on Season 1 and teases of what's to come in Season 2 will be happy to hear that Showtime will be bringing John Logan and some of the show's stars to San Diego for a panel at Comic-Con later this month:
"We're excited to announce that PENNY DREADFUL will make its SDCC debut as the opening day headliner on Thursday, July 24th from 6:00PM - 7:00PM with a panel session in Ballroom 20. Featured panelists will include series stars Josh Hartnett, Reeve Carney and Harry Treadaway and series creator, writer and executive producer John Logan. The panel will be moderated by Emmy® Award-nominated actress (and major Penny Dreadful fan) Aisha Tyler!
Additionally, there will be talent signings, exclusive merchandise offers and more throughout the weekend! Fans can visit the Entertainment Earth Booth (#2343) to purchase a deluxe deck of tarot cards inspired by the ones used throughout the series, along with character action figures, including Ethan Chandler and Vanessa Ives. They can also visit the Titan Books Booth (#5537) to purchase special PENNY DREADFUL deluxe hardcover editions of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Oscar Wilde’s A Picture of Dorian Gray, which each contain original black and white illustrations by Martin Stiff, Louie de Martinis and Ian Bass.
