Penny Dreadful alum Paco Cabezas has been tapped to direct multiple episodes of Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels, the next chapter of the saga from the original series’ creator, writer and executive producer John Logan. The announcement was made Thursday by Gary Levine, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks, at TCA. Production on the drama series is expected to begin later this year.
A spiritual descendant of the story set in Victorian-era London, the next chapter opens in 1938 Los Angeles; a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension.
