"Penny Dreadful" is going to explore new places for season 3.
The upcoming season of the supernatural British-American horror series will be filming in Almeria, Spain. Not only will fans see a new side of the series but they will also find out more about Ethan Chandler's mysterious past as well.
According to Day Herald, the previous episodes of the series revealed that Ethan was involved in the US Army Calvary. There he had encountered several Native American tribes which will be covered in the new season as Ethan heads into America and will feature dark themes from the Wild West in the 1800s. The scenes that will be shown here were filmed in the city of Almeria, Spain.
The new location was required in order to continue where the story left off for Ethan Chandler, as played by Josh Hartnett. Ethan had admitted to the Scotland authorities that he was responsible for killing people at the Mariner's Inn when he turned into a werewolf. Due to his actions, he was sent back to America.
Fans are already anticipating the release of the upcoming season and are constantly updated by the official Instagram account of "Penny Dreadful."
The production is taking place in a desert and shows images of Las Cruces, possibly the new down where season 3 will open in, and also the things that are happening behind the scenes.
In other news, there will reportedly be a new character being added to the series.
According to Christian Post, a new villain will be coming back into the series as executive producer John Logan hinted the new character.
"I can tell you this and this is such a tease," he said. "And I am sorry for it — but after two years I am finally adding another famous literary character."
"I think Hecate is such a delicious character because she has her mother's sort of flamboyant sense of evil and flamboyant sense of language, but she's a contemporary young woman who's not as bound as her mother to the old tropes of Satanism."
"Penny Dreadful" season 3 will premiere on May 1, 2016, at the usual 10 p.m. EST timeslot on Showtime.
