Meet two characters who seek pleasure within life’s darkness: Dorian Gray and Brona Croft. You can tell from their recently unveiled “Penny Dreadful” posters that both have a taste for the erotic… and don’t mind having some blood on their hands.

“Penny Dreadful” is set to premiere on Showtime on Sunday, May 11th, at 10PM ET/PT.

“Penny Dreadful” is created, written, and executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) and executive produced by Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Neal Street’s Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, “Call the Midwife”). Juan Antonio Bayona (The Orphanage, The Impossible) directs the first two episodes.

Timothy Dalton, Reeve Carney, Josh Hartnett, Harry Treadaway, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper, and Eva Green star.
