The exact premiere date of Season 3 of "Penny Dreadful" is yet to be announced. However, while fans are waiting for the show to come back in 2016, various news about the horror drama show has been teased. Reports say that Season 3 will see returning characters including Lily Frankenstein, played by Billie Piper. Meanwhile, Patti Lupone will also be coming back to the show, but she is reportedly set to play a different character.
Christian Post reports that Billie Piper will return in Season 3 of "Penny Dreadful" to play the character of Lily Frankenstein. According to the site, Lily is an "Irish immigrant trying to run away from her terrible past." The return of her character is expected to delve deeper into such past and reveal more about her story and how it fits into the other storylines in Season 3.
Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that Patti Lupone is set to make a comeback in "Penny Dreadful." Lupone previously played the character of the Cut-Wife, who died in Season 2. The Cut-Wife was an abortionist who previously helped Vanessa (Eva Green). In Season 3, Lupone will play Dr. Seward, an American therapist.
Now that Lupone is coming back, various speculations have come up, suggesting that the Cut-Wife may be alive after all and only faked her own death. It was also said that Lupone's new and old characters may turn out to be the same person. It was previously said that Dr. Seward will also help Vanessa through "eccentric" means, and it was speculated that she might aid Vanessa in using her powers against Dracula and Lucifer.
Meanwhile, Movie News Guide has also reported that a new famous horror literary figure will be introduced in Season 3. However, such character has not yet been revealed.
"Penny Dreadful" Season 3 is expected to premiere in 2016 with nine episodes.
