«Ужасы по дешевке»: чего мы ждем от второго сезона

Как известно, детище Джона Логана — готическо-поэтическая драма с психосексуальным подтекстом — «Penny Dreadful» продлили на второй сезон, причем, в отличие от первого, в нем будет 10 серий. Давайте подумаем, что бы нам хотелось увидеть в продолжнеии полюбившегося сериала.

Итак, что мы имеем после первого сезона – у нас есть неназванный Дракула – он же Хозяин. Возможно, это именно Итан рвет жителей викторианского Лондона на части, в своей обезьяньей ипостаси. Похоже, что Калибан на веки вечные связан с Броной, а Дориану придется пережить немало неприятных минут в думах о Ванессе и ее отказе. Мне кажется, что если первый сезон был посвящен поискам Мины, то второй с большой долей вероятности можно посвятить мести сэра Малкольма Хозяину. За то, что тот уничтожил его дочь. Историю сэра Малкольма Мюррея нам не показывали, только небольшие намеки. Очень хотелось бы узнать поподробнее.

Американский оборотень в Лондоне. Прям название фильма категории В-. Больше месяца все поклонники сериала только и говорили о то, что Итан – оборотень. И, наконец, в финале нам показали превратившегося Итана. Но все равно еще ничего не понятно о его прошлом, кроме того, что его отец не остановится ни перед какими средствами, чтоб вернуть сына под свой контроль. Я уже высказывала мысль, а не отец ли и превратил Итана в зверо-человека? В общем, чтоб не толочь воду в ступе, просто отмечу, что как Ванесса в первом сезоне, Итан заслуживает отдельной серии с флешбэками – биография у него богатая, и мы хотим все знать!

Обидно мало было Дориана в первом сезоне! Дорианом нас только раздразнили. Пожалуйста, мистер Логан, побалуйте нас прошлым Дориана! Раз уж мы не знаем, сколько лет мистеру Грею, то легко можем представить нашего юношу в римской тоге, к примеру, с обнаженным плечиком… про портрет я вообще молчу – что он там прячет? Портрет? Зеркало?

Еще очень хочется узнать продолжение истории с египетскими богами. И египтолог – мистер Лайл очень нравится!

А вот экзорцизма, надеюсь, больше не будет. Пусть Ванесса остается со своими тараканами–пауками. Мы ее такой любим!

Вот такие мысли. А вы что скажете?

'Penny Dreadful' Season 2 Cast: Josh Hartnett In Showtime Series For The Long Haul, Actor Willing To Commit For 'Years' [VIDEO]

Actor Josh Hartnett (Pearl Harbor, 30 Days Of Night) has not been on television since he was 18, but the 35-year-old actor recently revealed that he's in for the long haul with his new Showtime series Penny Dreadful.

Hartnett has noted on numerous occasions that he chose to become involved with the program after years of independent films and avoiding the spotlight because of the "collaborators". He wanted to work with creator John Logan, as well as some of the other producers and directors.

"I just knew that I was going to have good partners over the course of however long this goes on," explained Hartnett in a recent interview (featured below). He then added that the show could continue for "many years".

Hartnett also noted that the format would prove interesting, as television is quite different than film. "it's intriguing to start a character at a certain place and watch it grow somewhat organically..." said the actor, "In this, it can go in any different direction and that's exciting".

Renewed for a second, longer season, the Victorian drama will resume production next month in Ireland. This month, however, cast and crew will make their way to San Diego for Comic Con. Creator John Logan, as well as members of the cast including Hartnett, Reeve Carney, and Harry Treadaway will be speaking on a Q & A panel July 25th. They will also spend time afterward signing autographs for fans.

Penny Dreadful returns to Showtime in 2015.

Comic-Con: 'Penny Dreadful' villain will be a familiar face

"Penny Dreadful" will be "very different" in season two, according to creator John Logan, who joined stars Josh Hartnett, Reeve Carney and Harry Treadaway for a Q&A at Comic-Con on Thursday evening.

"The cosmology, the theology of the show gets much larger [in season two] -- they're thrown into a much more threatening supernatural world," Logan teased, admitting that the focus of season one was to "build a family and bring them together -- the joy of writing the second season is building on those relationships in different patterns."

To counterbalance season one's vampiric villain, who couldn't deliver long, verbose monologues, Logan revealed that season two's antagonist will be a familiar face -- Helen McCrory's spiritualist, Madame Kali. The panel then ran a scene that was cut from the season one finale, which explained Kali's motivations and "the challenge she was going to pose to our family." While it didn't fit amid the chaos of episode 108, it will appear in some form next season, and features Kali talking to eccentric Egyptologist Ferdinand Lyle about Vanessa Ives (Eva Green).

In it, Kali notes that "there is nothing common about Miss Ives," telling Ferdinand that there's little that women won't do in the pursuit of beauty. "What games we'll have, Miss Ives and I, when one will live and one will die," she ominously rhymes, telling Ferdinand that they shall "unleash glorious horrors" together.

After the clip, Logan previewed that Ferdinand will become "deeply embroiled" in next season's plot and join the ragtag central family that formed in season one.

The finale also revealed what the show had been hinting at since it premiered -- that Hartnett's Ethan Chandler was a werewolf, something that Hartnett said he knew from his first meeting with Logan. "The werewolf thing made me feel more ingrained in the actual world of 'Penny Dreadful,'" the actor noted. "Everyone else had their secrets, I wanted mine."

While Ethan has not been fully aware of what he is or what he's done thus far, Logan previewed that in season two, "he finds out exactly what he is, and has to deal with the consequences of that." The series will also explore Ethan's backstory and delve into his troubled relationship with his father, whom Logan describes as "a monstrous man who treated his son brutally." Logan has yet to decide whether Ethan was bitten or comes from a long line of werewolves, but he's in the process of writing season two. Logan promised that, much like the episode that showed viewers Vanessa's backstory, he hopes to do the same for all the major characters in seasons to come.

Season two will also introduce a character who will "lead us further into the Dracula origin story," and Logan hopes to someday explore Dr. Moreau and the Island of Lost Souls. He also plans to reveal what Dorian Gray's portrait actually looks like -- it was originally going to be included in the finale, but the creator decided to hold off on the tantalizing reveal for a while longer.

"There's an inherent sadness that comes with losing everyone you've ever lost," Carney noted of his enigmatic character. "The portrait bears the burden of his sins, but it certainly crosses his mind."

As for whether we'll see more of Dorian's unexpected sexual relationship with Ethan, Logan demurred, "As a gay man, I thought it would be corrupt and inorganic to not deal with all forms of sexuality... all iterations of what it means to be human. I believe humans behave in the moment in the way that is true to them," which is to say he doesn't want to label any of his characters, or rule any sexual dalliances out.

Hartnett agreed, "Given the circumstances, maybe every character could be attracted to each other in a certain way. I mean, c'mon, look at Reeve."

According to Logan, the overarching theme for season two will be his characters' quest for identity, exploring the idea that "the thing that makes them exceptional, extraordinary, is a blessing and a curse simultaneously -- so how do you exist on that fulcrum?"

We'll have to wait until 2015 to find out.
