PENNY DREADFUL's second season found Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) and Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) forming a deeper bond as the group, including Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and Sembene (Danny Sapani), united to banish the evil forces that threatened to destroy them. Meanwhile, Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney) and the Creature (Rory Kinnear) all waged battles of their own. Helen McCrory returned as Evelyn Poole (a.k.a. Madame Kali), the seductive spiritualist who posed a unique threat to our protagonists, along with Simon Russell Beale, back as eccentric Egyptologist Ferdinand Lyle.
