“Penny Dreadful” Officially Cancelled After 3rd Season Finale
If you watched the third season finale for Showtime’s “Penny Dreadful“, you’ll probably have noticed that it ended with the words “The End”. Alas, that wasn’t hyperbole and fans will need to accept that those words are the last we’ll see of Josh Hartnett, Eva Green, and Timothy Dalton as Ethan Chandler, Vanessa Ives, and Sir Malcolm Murray, respectively.
Creator John Logan has made it clear to Deadline, “I can absolutely confirm it is really over, the end — that’s all she wrote.” He continues, describing the show as a poem, saying some are only meant to be, “…haikus and some are meant to be sonnets and some are meant to be enormous epics, and this was always meant to be a sonnet. It was something of grace and beauty. I think we’ve been able to achieve that in a really masterful way with the artists that I work with, everyone’s work. I think this is the right ending so for me to revisit that world again would seem inorganic, I think.”
When asked if the show might ever return, Showtime president David Nevins stated, “I’m always happy to speculate, there is no this is done. …I feel like it is a rich world that I think will live on for a very long time. …Who knows?”
Premiering in April of 2014, the show was positively received and built a strong fan base. It earned several nominations and won multiple awards over its three seasons, including Best Television Series, Best Original Music, Best TV Actress, and more.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
