"Penny Dreadful" is already on its second season and the first episode entitled "Fresh Hell" was shown on May 3, Sunday. Eva Green, who plays the character of the protagonist Vanessa Ives, endured a lot from the first eight episodes of the first season and it looks like the new season will be more hellish for her.
On the first season of Penny Dreadful, the best friend of Vanessa was taken over by a demonic creature and was possessed by the devil. However, Vanessa was kept alive as she will be helping her best friend get back in the mortal world.
As for the second season's first episode, Vanessa finds herself warding off other supernatural species and it seems that she will not be having a break from trying to just have a normal life.
As for the all-time favorite Wolfman, Ethan, played by Josh Hartnett, he came back from an epic bar brawl after he tried to escape those who wanted him to go back to the United States. However, it was hinted in the first episode of season two that Ethan might be a mass murderer. He then asks Vanessa to get out of London with him because he knows what he is capable of doing but cannot explain to the main character why.
Also, the witches are back and their group is led by Madam Kali played by Evelyn Poole. In one of the scenes, she bathed herself in blood before talking to her daughters about their plan to eliminate Ethan and Vanessa. She is definitely a character who shows no mercy because she killed her own daughter who failed to murder Vanessa.
Vanessa is still the Vanessa people know from the first season as she took her usual spot on her bedroom floor as she did some ominous painting using her own blood.
However, this season's premiere lacked a lot of blood, guts, and violence as compared to the first season. But according to reports, more bloody scenes are yet to come in the coming episodes.
