Showtime's new horror Penny Dreadful is set to premiere Sunday May 11 at 10PM. Created by Skyfall writer John Logan and starring Josh Hartnett and Eva Green, Penny Dreadful is a psychological thriller that brings history's most famous monsters - Dracula, Dorian Gray, Frankenstein - to life in one epic tale.
Hartnett plays Ethan Chandler, an American who finds himself "trapped in the darkest corners of Victorian London", and Green Vanessa Ives, "a seductive and formidable beauty full of secrets and danger".
The debut episode has become available online, but back in January at, we spoke with Hartnett at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour when the series was still shrouded in mystery. The actor opened the conversation by noting that his character's backstory would remain a secret for some time on the show and that he and Green's character were almost magnetically drawn to one another, though the reason for their connection would also unfold over time. We then moved on what drew him to his first television series role, and why he took a break from Hollywood after making a big entrance in his early twenties with films like Pearl Harbor.
