I am curious: Has there ever been lost media involved in this franchise, like a lost episode, a promotional video or photo, or a lost script, something like that?
What's on your mind?

Hello all. I have just now found this page and do not know much about what goes on here. I loved the first 3 seasons of Penny Dreadful and was thrilled to learn there would be a new series, the City of Angels. WELL, I and several friends and relatives, were crazy about it.
Perhaps if I spend a little more time here I may learn if I am alone in my opinion. I often hear of people banding together and sometimes encouraging a network to bring back a show that has been cancelled. Does anyone here know how one goes about such a thing? I have written feedback to Showtime twice suggesting that they create a season 2.
I felt so cheated when it was cancelled, there were so many plot lines left hanging in the season finale.

Hey everyone, I'm MakeShift and I've been assigned to you guys as the Wiki Manager for the Penny Dreadful Wiki! I'm here to help you guys and act as a sort of "middleman" between the community and full-time Fandom staff, and to make sure we keep everything healthy and in great shape.
While I'm at it, I might also bring up Fandom's latest project, the Unified Community Platform, or UCP. Over the next little while, Fandom will be transitioning over to the UCP, and so I'll be here to help make that process smooth for all of you. Just last week the first release of the UCP became live, which is super exciting! All new wikis created will utilise the UCP, and before long so will we!
Overall, if you need any help, don't be afraid to swing me a message, and I'll try my best to solve any problems you guys might have!
The first teaser trailer for Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is here. Thoughts?
John Logan, Penny Dreadful’s architect, was just as shocked as the rest of us to learn there were more stories to tell.
The three-time Oscar nominee saw that first iteration of his Showtime series—which concluded in 2016 after three seasons—as a “beautifully complete sonnet” for Eva Green’s Vanessa Ives. “Very shortly after that, Showtime was asking, ‘Would you ever reconsider doing more,” Logan tells EW. “And I said, ‘No. I’ve done that story, I’ve done gothic horror with literary characters. But if there’s anything else that ever occurs to me, I’ll get in touch.’” Then, he says, something happened: “The world changed with such a seismic crash everywhere around us.”
More specifically, Logan points to “the worldwide resurgence of political extremism, atavistic nationalism, dangerous demagoguery, and the vehement racism and antisemitism,” with Penny Dreadful: City of Angels as his response to it.
To understand the present, the show’s writer-creator goes back to 1938 L.A. during the construction of the Arroyo Seco Parkway. Logan chuckles at the thought that “this may be the first television show in history about the building of the freeway.” This new series is built around Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto of HBO’s Here and Now), whose family is displaced by the freeway’s construction; he serves as the first Chicano LAPD detective, working to solve a grisly murder with his mentor, Officer Michener (Nathan Lane).

im hoping for more action, especially between characters who never interacted, this is the chance to make things right, I think it would be cool to bring in dracula, caliban and it doesnt have to be ethan, but just another werewolf for them all to fight off, that would be awesome </p><p>
</p><p>
for new characters that are awesome, not just humans and they can expose more supernatural powers </p><p>
</p><p>
and hopefully we get old characters back, as many possible, yes I am aware rory kinnear is returning but not as caliban, but for caliban to come back would be great, just basically any character left alive, but even ghost characters would be fine to see too. </p><p>

they can bring in more creatures too I guess, they should keep away I think from little green men(aliens), but maybe they can bring in dragons, minotaurs, etc., Maybe they can bring in zombies, not vampires but zombies. I have no clue what the budget will be for this show so I am not expecting giant monsters to show up or anything, I guess dragons were hard enough to show on game of thrones with their budget and penny dreadful doesnt make as much profit as GOT and something tells me the spin off wont either. I also want to comment that I dont think they need to be in god, the devil(yes I am aware he shown up once) or traditional angels and demons, Im burned out on them for one and two, I feel they need to be kept in mystery cause I just have personal reasons for not wanting them to show up. Id also hope they dont just do more human vs supernatural warfare. A cool idea I would like to see is the supernaturals go into factions to take over earth, heaven and hell and do what they want with them. And the humans just happen to be in the middle of it all, and yes I would like for there to be good and bad supernaturals, not make them all bad. I dont even want them to make all the supernaturals good and all the humans bad cause I see how that could play out and I dont want that either </p><p>
</p><p>
but those are my hopes, if you all have any hopes, let me know in the comments </p>
