Showtime has debuted the official trailer for “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” which is set to premiere on Sunday April 26th.
Set in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) and his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane) become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles.
Ranging from the building of the city’s first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart.
Natalie Dormer, Kerry Bishe, Amy Madigan, Brent Spiner, Lin Shaye, Rory Kinnear, Piper Perabo, Adam Rodriguez, Thomas Kretschmann, Lorenza Izzo, Michael Gladis, Dominic Sherwood and Ethan Peck co-star. John Logan returns as series creator, writer and executive producer alongside Michael Aguilar (“Kidding”), Sam Mendes (“1917”) and Pippa Harris (“Revolutionary Road”) as executive producers.
