“When will we meet again, my love…”

The full trailer for Penny Dreadful Season 2 has arrived – and Showtime’s series is looking as creepy as you’d expect following the horrors of the first season.

John Logan’s second batch of scares will see Vanessa and Ethan form a deeper bond as the group, including Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and Sembene (Danny Sapani), unite to banish the evil forces that threaten to destroy them. Meanwhile, Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), the Creature (Rory Kinnear) and Brona (Billie Piper) are all waging battles of their own.

Patti LuPone will guest star as a mysterious character of great importance in Vanessa’s past, while Helen McCrory will return as Evelyn Poole (a.k.a. Madame Kali), the seductive spiritualist who will pose a unique threat to our protagonists this season – along with Simon Russell Beale, who stole several scenes as eccentric Egyptologist Ferdinand Lyle. (Additional guest stars will include Douglas Hodge as a Scotland Yard investigator; Sarah Greene as Poole’s powerful daughter, Hecate; and Johnny Beauchamp as a man with a singular past.)

It returns to the US in April this year, so you can expect it on Sky Atlantic soon after. Never seen Penny Dreadful or can’t wait for more? Season 1 has just arrived on NOW again from today, so you can catch up or re-watch to your heart’s content.

Here’s the trailer:
