‘Penny Dreadful’ Season 2 Finale: Billie Piper on Lily’s Evolution
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the second season of “Penny Dreadful,” particularly its finale.
The “Penny Dreadful” season two finale had a lot of work to do. First, it had to wrap up the main narrative with the final showdown between sorceress supreme Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) and the unholy team of Lucifer and his servant Madame Kali (Helen McCrory). Then, it had to set things up for season three, which is the bigger task because the protagonists have now gotten the best of both Dracula and the devil. Where do they go next, and who will be the most formidable villain for them to take on?
Right now, it looks like there will be two big baddies next season: the immortal and amoral power duo of reanimated Lily Frankenstein (“Doctor Who” veteran Billie Piper) and portrait-protected Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney). Together, they aim to dominate the world by indulging in cruelty and forging a new “master race.”
The villainous turn for both characters comes at just the right time. The importance of each to the overall narrative of the show always was a mystery as they both played tangential, if sizable, parts until recently. Dorian was concerned mostly with mining new experiences for fresh sensations, and Lily hasn’t even been Lily the whole time. Last season, she was the diseased Irish prostitute Brona Croft, who had a tragic love affair with American werewolf in London Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), and she spent much of this season playing the innocent with her creator, Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway). As the season reached its close, though, Lily’s true intentions burst through the surface.
Speakeasy talked to Piper about the evolution of her character and what she hopes will happen in season three. An edited transcript follows.
Let’s talk about the evolution of Brona to the supervillain Lily.
She’s mad, isn’t she?
Did you have an idea that her character arc would go this way in the beginning?
I did. I knew. My first meeting with John Logan in Covent Garden, he told me everything he had planned. That’s sort of mentally agile to sort of see exactly what would occur. I knew from the very beginning before I even started episode one that that was her part, and it was delightful.
When you first heard that at the time, did it seem like a daunting challenge for you, or something you really wanted to sink your teeth into?
I just couldn’t wait. I was chomping at the bit. Even through series one, I loved playing Brona, but in my mind I was always looking forward to that, to dying and then having a sort of a renaissance and just going to town with this absolute loose cannon. I had to be really patient and enjoy moment to moment and not plot too heavily in my mind, sort of do it more instinctively.
What was the most challenging part of playing Lily this season?
I think the early days and creating someone that was, even though you know that she knew all along, the challenge was sort of carefully not giving that away, and playing someone who’s seeing life for the first time again, and being at the hands of her maker and the ability that comes with that. It’s sort of like playing a baby, in a way.
Do you think she had these kinds of megalomaniacal intentions from the beginning, or do you think she grew into them?
No, I think she had them right from the beginning. … I feel like, she was savaged by men, pretty much, due to her profession, and everything that happened to her in Belfast as a lady of the night and all of that that stuff. And then she was taken by a man, and then killed by a man, and then raised by two men. She’s vengeful, and apart from with Ethan, she hasn’t had a moment’s glory or a romantic experience or intimate experience with any man, so she’s been sort of broken by them. She’s got an ax to grind.
Between Eva Green, with Vanessa, and even the villains this season, “Penny Dreadful” has really gone out of its way to establish these complicated female characters. Do you think that sets the show apart from a lot of what’s out there?
Yes, I do. I think [John Logan] writes women like he’s felt their pain acutely, and he also writes them with such personality and strength as well as weakness. In John’s show, they’re a force to be reckoned with, all of them, and you don’t really see that [in other shows]. There’s lots of great shows going on, but the women sort of firmly have their place, sort of an extension of a man or serving a man. This is totally different.
How much fun did you have once you started getting into Lily’s villainous phase?
How much fun did I have? Loads. And I haven’t done that before, so it was sort of potentially quite dangerous playing someone like that. I loved every minute of it, and I hope that her quest continues in that vein.
It certainly seems like season three is setting up nicely for Lily and Dorian to be the heavies. Are you prepared to be an ultimate kind of badass villain like that?
Yes. [Laughs] But the thing about John is that it will take a turn, I imagine. I don’t know that much about the third series, but I wouldn’t put it past him that this journey will take many turns and it won’t be some seamless killing spree.
Do you hope that Lily will encounter Ethan again?
Yeah, I would like to know how that plays out, being that he was the only man who showed any sort of compassion, so if they do meet again, [it will be interesting to see] whether she will sort of be open to him, or whether she will just decide that he is one of many bad men and savage him. Who knows? I don’t know. It will definitely kick off at some point, I’m sure.
Other than the complex characters you’ve played, who is your favorite character on the show?
To me it’s really hard to pick the part before the actors because I love all the actors. We’ve become proper mates and all that, and we all know each other. We all live in north London. It kind of carries on when we leave Dublin, and that’s so great. But I suppose Ferdinand Lyle, I love. Because in a show with pain and murder and destruction, he brings some brilliant levity. His character is a firm favorite of mine. I really love Frankenstein, the way he plays that punk Gothic, drug-taking … it’s so layered, it’s so brilliant.
It’s like a 19th century “Trainspotting.”
Exactly. And they’re all so crippled by poetry. They’re all incredibly well-read.
When do you expect to start work on season three’s production?
We start in August. Next month. Jesus.
You haven’t gotten the scripts yet?
I haven’t, so I don’t even have to lie to you.
-- Ты надеешься, на встречу Лили и Итана снова?
-- Да ..., потому что он был единственным человеком, кто проявил какое-либо сострадание к Броне. Так что если они встретятся снова -- это будет интересно : откроется ли Брона-Лили снова Итану, или просто решит, что он один из тех многих плохих мужчин ? Кто знает ?.... Я не знаю.
