An erotically-charged, profoundly unsettling new saga, PENNY DREADFUL completely reinvents literature's most iconic and terrifying characters. Dorian Gray, Victor Frankenstein and timeless figures from Dracula join a core of original characters in a dark and brutal quest to save a soul -- even as they grapple with their own monstrous temptations. Starring Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton and Eva Green.

Reeve Carney's Dorian Gray is exceptional.

[@kierlock]

His English accent is pretty impressive, had me fooled

[@TheDashnhash]

he's so pretty i wanna cry!!

[@wearenotdoinggethelp3985]

He’s such an innocent looking bean I love it 😂

[@Trekkin4Always]

Wow, incredibly impressed with Reeve's accent. As an English person with an RP accent, I was a little worried about it, but I actually think that it's really good! Just another reason to love him I suppose :)

[@mrlafayette1964]

whats an RP accent? the RP I mean

[@Trekkin4Always]

RP stands for Received Pronunciation - it's the most widely recognised English accent. On television, it's commonly used for news readers, presenters, and characters who are thought to be of an upper class. For example, I've always spoken with an RP accent, and other children at school used to call me 'posh', even though I don't come from a high class area. Hope that helped :)

[@arnoldrivas4590]

You're right. I just discovered this show and going through season 1 quickly. It's really and his RP accent had me fooled! The guy's talented :)

[@sodepassagem2045]

[@litaholic4572]

I am very excited to see this new series! Hopefully I will have read "A Picture of Dorian Gray" before the premiere. This is very interesting!

[@thenightowl9123]

[@scarletts.2082]

[@melania3481]

[@12markito]

rasin3161 umm idk about that.

[@giotastavrianou8191]

So I want to start watching this series and I wanna know what it is about. Some information about Dorian Gray and stuff like that

[@Rasberrysundae101]

Anyone know the song that starts at 0:32?

[@xectilus5530]

Ooh, I wonder where Dorian's taking Ethan in that clip at the end?

[@julioriquelmesanz6278]

Este muchacho actúa muy bien.

[@ScuffyTheDog]

cool.

[@suzvalentino1901]

For God's sake Burton tried to teach the Victorians about SEX but they called him strange and immoral, I am surprised this movie didn't cover Burton and his ideas of how to please a woman in bed. No wonder Burton couldn't stand the Victorians.

[@sheilamouleart5668]

The didn't like it.

[@nibnob7]

I see that aesthetically he's ideal but I really don't find him attractive

[@haileyduncan2522]

Zoe 7 I agree he has a wicked babyface I didn't see him as the sexual character he was supposed to be.

[@jazcc]

I agree

[@pm2886]

@@jazcc Same. I can see he's gorgeous, but totally not my type. Josh Hartnett though .... that's a different matter. He's ridiculously attractive, without being actually pretty.

[@donnalove1996]

Oh man I love the way "Dorian grey " talks
