New Penny Dreadful: City of Angels Video Reveals The Many Faces of Magda
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is just a week away, and a new featurette looks at the different faces worn by Natalie Dormer’s villainous Magda. You can see the video below, which centers on Magda, a shape-shifting demon and “agent of chaos” who is the show’s supernatural antagonist, below.
The series debuts next Sunday on Showtime and also stars Daniel Zovatto, Nathan Lane and Natalie Dormer. It is described as follows:
A spiritual descendant of the original Penny Dreadful story set in Victorian-era London, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels opens in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) and his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane) become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city’s first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart.
