![]() Logan told me in an interview back in 2014 that he “charted it up to the third season in terms of where I wanted to take the story, where I wanted to align to some of the classic novels that inspired it and some of the ways I wanted to variant those things.” The future of the Victorian iconic supernatural misfits horror series from the Skyfall scribe aside, what we saw tonight alone will leave fans shocked - and seemingly has caused Penny Dreadful‘s social media platforms to go dark.Īlso, as always, the panache-filled Penny Dreadful was full of big narrative gestures and poetry this season, which started with the 1892 death of Poet Laureate Alfred, Lord Tennyson and concluded as William Wordswoth’s Intimations of Immortality was read over scenes of the main characters dealing with Vanessa’s death.Ĭoming into the finale, the drama was building towards a climax of one sort or another - and a cliffhanger or death. Or, in Green’s line to her lover Dracula that “we make our own Heaven and our Hell.” She then adds, of Josh Hartnett‘s Ethan Chandler, a man who has long loved her, “let him come, he and I shall write the ending in blood, as it was always going to be.” In their confrontation, Vanessa tells Chandler to “let it end” to deny the forces of darkness “their prize” - with a kiss. And when I say the end, I mean literally: An on-screen card said “The End” - which can only raise 19th and 21st century eyebrows that the John Logan-created Showtime series may have breathed its last along with lead actress Eva Green‘s often tormented and now dead Vanessa Ives.Ī clue might lay in the opening credits of the second part of tonight’s finale, which were altered from their usual graphics to a retrospective of the series. To paraphrase The Doors, this really does seems like the end my friends as Penny Dreadful concluded its bloody, bawdy and vampiric third season with the death of one of its major characters. ![]() SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details of tonight’s Penny Dreadful Season 3 finale.
