Showtime's forthcoming Penny Dreadful sequel will have a connection to the original series after all.
Original star, Rory Kinnear has joined the cast of the new series, but he will be taking on an entirely new character.
He is taking on the series regular role of Dr. Peter Craft, 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.
"It's no secret that Rory is one of my favorite actors on the planet, and working with him in the original series was inspiring," said Penny Dreadful creator John Logan.
"So much so that I wrote this part for him, and I'm thrilled he'll be joining us in the City of Angels."
