Showtime Cancels: “Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels” After One Season
The industry trade, Variety, is the first to confirm that Showtime’s Penny Dreadful: City of Angels will not get a second season of its drama TV series. And, what a shame it is that this promising series gets cut short before it gave its viewing audience an opportunity to really settle into a tale that opened in the 1930 Los Angeles era. This time in Angeleno history was infused deeply with social and political tension. Sound familiar to what’s going on in 2020?
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels cast stars Nathan Lane, Natalie Dormer, Daniel Zovatto, Kerry Bishé, Rory Kinnear, Adriana Barraza, Michael Gladis, Jessica Garza and Johnathan Nieves. Nieves also starred in this sequel from the original series created by John Logan, the series creator, writer and executive producer. Michael Aguilar is also an executive producer, along with the original series’ EPs Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris.
“Showtime has decided not to move forward with another season of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels,” the network said in a statement Friday. “We would like to thank executive producers John Logan, Michael Aguilar and the entire cast and crew for their outstanding work on this project.”
The sequel opened with a grisly murder that shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega (Zovatto), and his partner Lewish Michener (Lane). The detectives became embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles. Think about it– it’s a time when the building of the city’s first freeways happened and it also captures its deep traditions of Mexican-American Folklore to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago Vega and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart.
“The Dreadfuls,” Penny Dreadful’s loyal fan base, unfortunately, was not as supportive of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels and any new audience was not enough to carry over for a season two.
