After Patti LuPone's remarkable portrayal of Joan Clayton in the past season of "Penny Dreadful," she will be back on the show's upcoming third season. However, this time, since Joan Clayton already met her demise, LuPone will be portraying a different character as Vanessa Ives' (Eva Green) therapist named Dr. Seward.
According to the Venture Capital Post, the Tony award winner and Broadway star will be treating Vanessa, and the shrink is said to use an "unconventional new approach." Fans are curious on how Vanessa's therapy sessions will go with her unique therapist.
