It's beginning to look like Eva Green will never return as Vaness Ives even if a "Penny Dreadful" spinoff series will be made in the future. However, that doesn't rule out the possibility that the show's other stars will reprise their respective roles. There are speculations that Billie Piper will return as Lily Frankenstein if FX will develop a new series.
'Penny Dreadful' Cancelled, Spinoff Series Being Planned By FX With Billie Piper?
Creator John Logan has already made it quite clear that Vanessa Ives' story is officially done and that Eva Green will not reprise the role. However, Showtime CEO David Nevins has admitted that he still wants the series to continue beyond the three-season arc.
"I was trying to keep open the possibility of going beyond," Nevins revealed during the Television Critics Association press tour (via Digital Spy). However, the Showtime CEO also added that "Penny Dreadful" would not fare well without Vanessa Ives or John Logan, since they were "the heart of the show."
Nevertheless, fans continue to hope for a "Penny Dreadful" spinoff series in the future. After all, Billie Piper has already stated that the conclusion was "very sudden" for her. "As actors, it was pretty upsetting," Piper said of the "Penny Dreadful" cancellation. The former "Doctor Who" star stated that "no one was expecting it to be the end."
Fans immediately speculated that Billie Piper is interested in reprising her role as Lily in a possible "Penny Dreadful" spinoff series. Some even went as far as wondering whether the other cast members will return to continue their own storylines.
Showtime has not confirmed whether a "Penny Dreadful" spinoff series will be developed. Do you think Billie Piper should return as Lily? Should a new show be made without Eva Green's Vanessa Ives? Let us know in the comments.
