The new show will deal heavily in storylines involving Mexican folklore and Nazi espionage, where the real and supernatural conflict, with Santa Muerte and the Devil sharing space with pre-war uneasiness.

Showtime’s Head of Programming, Gary Levine, has expressed a lot of excitement about the new series. “We were so thrilled when John Logan came to us with this wildly original take on the Penny Dreadful mythology that explores both the human spirit and the spirit world here in California,” he said. “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels promises to be an extraordinary saga of familial love set against the terrifying monsters that are around us and within us.”
