It's more than six months, at least, until the second season of Penny Dreadful airs, but that doesn't mean Showtime isn't interested in rustling up some early anticipation for the sophomore season, currently filming with a bumper crop of new characters. So, they've released a taster of a tease hinting at the direction the new season will take, namely focusing on the repercussions of the past on the present.
Since last year focused so highly on Vanessa and her literal demons, and that she is the focus of this tease, I think it's safe to say that will remain constant. Though it's equally likely that Vanessa's past will take more of a back seat to Chandler, who had the least amount of elaboration last year, and had a fairly large revelation drop on us right at the very end. Everyone else, I suspect will be busy with mopping up their messes form the finale.
No matter the direction John Logan takes us, I'm looking forward to it.
