"Penny Dreadful" Season 4 is not going to happen on Showtime or any other network because series creator John Logan shared that the story had to end with Vanessa Ives' death. While the network remained open to the possibility of a spinoff series, will this recent report on the show's earnings entice Netflix to pick up the show?
Fans remain optimistic that "Penny Dreadful" spinoff series will happen on Showtime or Netflix. An ongoing petition was raised on change.org, which aims to see the Eva Green-led series renewed for Season 4 or picked up for a potential spinoff.
The petition has raised over 12,000 supporters as of writing. Many fans are hoping that Netflix would see how much love and support the show has from viewers who were disappointed to see the series end only after three seasons.
Even Billie Piper expressed her disappointment when she learned that "Penny Dreadful" Season 3 was going to be its last. Neither Showtime nor the show's cast and crew hinted about the show's cancellation until it aired its finale on TV, which read the words: "The End."
Meanwhile, many fans remain optimistic that this recent report from Irish Examiner would somehow entice Netflix to pick up "Penny Dreadful" Season 3 and create an entirely new show based on the other characters. The report stated that the show helped boost profits of Ardmore Studios, which was responsible for the shooting of the Showtime drama.
"Penny Dreadful" has reportedly helped the show recover from its losses in 2011 and 2012. The studio, just like the show's fans and viewers, received a blow when the series announced its ending after Season 3.
