Deadline report that Bille Piper is joining the likes of Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton, Eva Green, Reeve Carney, Rory Kinnear and Harry Treadaway in the cast of Penny Dreadful for Showtime. Her character is not named (so we don't know if she'll be playing an established horror icon) but apparently she'll appear as "an Irish immigrant trying to escape her dark past". Skyfall scribe John Logan is set to write all eight episodes of the series, with the director of that movie Sam Mendes executive producing. The first episode will be helmed by The Orphanage director Juan Antonio Bayona.

Really looking forward to this show but I'm pretty sure Billie's casting has been public info for a while already (of course, I could be mistaken). Still, if it gets people's attention here, I'm all for it!

@Jorellinator Nonsense. Rose and Donna are the best companions of the new series.
