We have the first full length trailer for the upcoming second season of Penny Dreadful and it is everything any fan of the show could hope for; namely a dark, eerie, stylish, and quite bloody glimpse into what's to come.

The macabre Showtime original series is set in a fictionalized Victorian London populated by characters from 19th Century Irish and British fiction derived from the works of Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley among others.

Dubliners should keep their eyes peeled as filming is currently underway in and around the city.

The second season is expected to hit screens in April, but for now enjoy the trailer and a charming featurette on the show's makeup and prosthetics below.
