The first trailer for Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is finally here and it looks nothing like the original show. Nevertheless, the new Showtime series teases a strange connection to Vanessa Ives as a new terror is unleashed in Los Angeles.
The trailer opens with two detectives finding the corpse of a woman whose face has been carved to look like a Dia de Muertos skull. In addition to that, there's a cryptic message painted nearby: "You take our heart, we take yours." Soon, the detectives realize that there's more to this homicide than they expected.
There's a lot of tension in Los Angeles in 1938, especially among the Mexicans living in the city. However, there's a greater mystery that unfolds.
Natalie Dormer finally shows up and we see her in several different ages and looks. Who is she and why does she claim that she and her sister will be the only ones left in the end? The truth could finally be revealed later this year.
The synopsis for City of Angels reads as follows:
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels will premiere on Showtime on April 26.
