Showtime is bringing back one of its “Penny Dreadful” actors for its upcoming spinoff, “City of Angels.”
Rory Kinnear, who played Frankenstein’s Monster on the original “Penny Dreadful,” will play Dr. Peter Craft, a successful German pediatrician and the head of the German-American Bund, an organization he hopes will keep the United States isolated from the growing threat of war in Europe.
“City of Angels” is described by Showtime as a “spiritual descendant” of the original series.
