According to Variety, a scene involving Kali had been cut from the season one finale, but could appear somewhere in season two. "What games we'll have, Miss Ives and I," said Kali in the scene, referring to Eva Green's character Vanessa Ives. "When one will live and one will die".
The Victorian drama is certainly teeming with secrets, and in discussing Chandler's werewolf origins Hartnett assured fans he didn't want to be left out. "The werewolf thing made me feel more ingrained in the actual world of Penny Dreadful," he explained, "Everyone else had their secrets, I wanted mine".
Logan assured fans that questions regarding Chandler's "werewolf" nature will be explored more specifically in season two. "He finds out exactly what he is," Logan said. "And has to deal with the consequences of that".
Logan also teased more flashback episodes in the future, the reveal of Dorian's Gray's painting, and "a much more threatening supernatural world".
Penny Dreadful returns to Showtime for a second season in 2015.
