"Penny Dreadful" fans were recently treated with a promo image for the show's Season 3. The image shows Patti Lupone in her returning character Dr. Seward with Eva Green, who plays the lead role of Vanessa.
According to Christian Today, the promo image which shows Green in a straitjacket while resting her head on Dr. Seward's lap has raised various questions and speculations on the upcoming season. It is said that Green's character seems to be getting weaker under Dr. Seward's care, though the psychiatrist was supposed to help her fight evils that she can't defeat herself.
According to the report, the speculation that Dr. Seward may be sabotaging Vanessa mentally has come up because of the promo image. However, this is yet to be confirmed when "Penny Dreadful" Season 3 airs. It is reportedly expected that Dr. Seward will reveal her true colors in the new season.
Meanwhile, along with the teaser photo, the synopsis for Season 3 of "Penny Dreadful" has also been revealed. TV.com posted the official synopsis on its site, which reads:
