Viewers Can Have A Free Sampling of Showtime’s New Original Series Penny Dreadful

In advance of the network premiere of Showtime’s new original series “Penny Dreadful,” Movie Central (Western Canada) and The Movie Network (Eastern Canada) are pleased to offer a free sampling of the complete first episode to non-subscribers, available now through Friday, May 30th online at www.moviecentral.ca and www.themovienetwork.ca, and via TMN GO, Shaw Go Movie Central app, Telus Optik on the go, and Bell TV Online.

In “Penny Dreadful,” some of literature’s most terrifying characters – including Dracula, Dorian Gray, and Dr. Frankenstein and his creature – have become embroiled in Victorian London, lurking in the shadows. The series stars Josh Hartnett (“Black Hawk Down”) as Ethan Chandle,  a charming, brash man of action; Eva Green (“Casino Royale”) as Vanessa Ives, a force to be reckoned with; Timothy Dalton (“License to Kill”) as Sir Malcolm, a hardened explorer on a personal quest; and Reeve Carney (“Snow Falling on Cedars”) as the confident and mesmerizing Dorian Gray.

The eight-episode psychological thriller created, written, and executive produced by three-time Academy Award nominee John Logan (“Hugo,” “The Aviator,” “Gladiator”), and executive produced by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (“American Beauty”) and Pippa Harris (“Revolutionary Road”), debuts Sunday, May 11th at 9pm on Movie Central and 10pm on Bell Media’s The Movie Network, day-and-date with Showtime in the U.S.
