"Penny Dreadful" Season 4 renewal is still being petitioned online, as many fans and viewers of the Showtime series still cannot accept the fact that the Eva Green-led series has come to a sudden end. The petition has raised over 11,000 supporters as of writing and it aims to have the show renewed for another season on Netflix.
While this is a definitely touching gesture from fans, they need to remember that "Penny Dreadful" Season 3 was not cancelled or axed on Showtime. The reason for the show's end after three seasons is because series creator John Logan said that Vanessa Ives' (Eva Green) suffering must come to an end.
Many fans expressed that even without Vanessa, "Penny Dreadful" can still continue with more seasons on TV. However, Logan made it clear that while there are other characters and stories to explore, the show has always been about Vanessa.
It looks like fans were not the only ones disappointed with the sudden ending of "Penny Dreadful" Season 3. In a recent interview, Billie Piper, who plays Lily Frankenstein, admitted that she was also upset with the way things wrapped off in Season 3, reports Digital Spy.
"As actors, it was pretty upsetting," she said. "But I think in a way it sort of worked - everyone's story got tied up and no one was expecting it to be the end."
