'Penny Dreadful' Series Ends with Season 3 Finale
In the season 3 finale of Penny Dreadful, which ran for two hours, a major character died and a title card read "The End" as it cut to black. Today, creator and showrunner John Logan has confirmed that the series has come to an end.
“I created Penny Dreadful to tell the story of a woman grappling with her faith, and with the demons inside her. For me the character of Vanessa Ives is the heart of this series. From the beginning, I imagined her story would unfold over a three-season arc, ending with Vanessa finally – and triumphantly – finding peace as she returns to her faith.
"To have had fans that have embraced us so passionately has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my career. This has been a very personal project for me and I will be forever grateful to have worked with the incredible cast led by Eva, Josh and Tim, our amazing Irish crew, and with our wonderful partners at SHOWTIME and Sky.”
Penny Dreadful has been a surprise hit, with fans and critics alike praising the series over the course of its run. That the season 3 finale's true nature was kept tight-lipped is impressive, though no doubt there are some disappointed fans today.
