The much-anticipated series premiere of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is here early, thanks to Showtime.
Ahead of its April 26 on-air series premiere, Showtime has released the first episode of the grisly series for free to view on YouTube, SHO.com and Amazon Prime Video.
Produced by Penny Dreadful's original show creator John Logan, City of Angels takes place in 1938 Los Angeles and follows Detective Tiago Vega and his partner Lewis Michener, who are investigating a set of brutal murders that delve them into the world of Mexican American folklore, the espionage actions of the Third Reich and witchcraft.
