Showtime‘s new spinoff series “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” wasn’t supposed to premiere until Sunday, April 26th, but you’re in luck if you didn’t really want to wait.
As a special little treat while we’re all hungrier than ever for new content, Showtime has just premiered the entire first episode of “City of Angels” on YouTube, totally free of charge!
Check out the latest trailer below, along with the full premiere episode underneath.
A spiritual descendant of the original “Penny Dreadful” story set in Victorian-era London, “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” opens in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega is embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: 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.
The full cast includes Natalie Dormer, Rory Kinnear, Lin Shaye, Michael Gladis, Nathan Lane, Daniel Zovatto, Lorenza Izzo, Adam Rodriguez, Thomas Kretschmann, Dominic Sherwood, Ethan Peck, Kerry Bishé, Adriana Barraza, Brent Spiner, Amy Madigan, Hudson West, Julian Hilliard, Jessica Garza and Johnathan Nieves.
