'Penny Dreadful' Season 4 News & Update: Renewal Unlikely Because Last Season Is A Flop?

"Penny Dreadful" has already announced the show's conclusion after its Season 3 finale. Avid viewers and fans of "Penny Dreadful" were left wondering as to why the executives of the TV series decided to stop its fourth installation.

Speculations were formed that the renewal of "Penny Dreadful" is unlikely to happen after the last season failed to reach high ratings. The creator of "Penny Dreadful", John Logan, confirmed the end of the TV series in an interview saying "it (Penny Dreadful) is over" but never mentioned low viewership as the cause.

Logan told Deadline that "Penny Dreadful" was meant to run for a short time. He even compared series to poems and how "Penny Dreadful" was meant to be a sonnet instead of a long enormous epic.

All the characters of "Penny Dreadful" came into a pleasant and stable status in Season 3 and that is how John Logan wanted the series to end. After the death of Vanessa Ives, Ethan got the father he desired and Sir Malcolm got the family he needed.

"Penny Dreadful" achieved grace and beauty as how the creator aims for it to be. To him, the Showtime series ended perfectly and suggesting to return to the story to add more to it would seem lifeless.

The feisty fans of the "Penny Dreadful" might have proven the falsity of having low viewership after they started a petition campaign to show their support for the critically acclaimed series. As of today, the petition "Save Penny Dreadful" on Change.org gathered 15,605 supporters.

These loyal fans are asking the executive producers to give "Penny Dreadful" another chance by extending one more season. In the petition, they are asking Netflix to buy the rights to "Penny Dreadful" for its quality, plot, and characters.

The credit at the end of "Penny Dreadful" Season 3 showed "The End" connoting the Showtime series' conclusion. The last episode of "Penny Dreadful" Season 3, "The Blessed Dark", was aired last June 19.
