Upcoming\u00a0Penny Dreadful\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>spin-off series City Of Angels<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>has finally rounded out its cast with six new stars.<\/p>\n

Joining the series are Adam Rodriguez (Criminal Minds<\/strong><\/em>), Thomas Kretschmann (King Kong<\/strong><\/em>), Lorenza Izzo (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood<\/strong><\/em>), Michael Gladis (Mad Men<\/strong><\/em>), Dominic Sherwood (Shadowhunters<\/strong><\/em>)\u00a0and Ethan Peck (Star Trek: Discovery<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n

Here’s a full breakdown of their characters:<\/p>\n

Adam Rodriguez as\u00a0Raul Vega<\/strong>, the eldest son of the Vega family and a righteous union leader and advocate for his people. Wise to the ways of the world, Raul tries to be a father-figure to his brother Tiago (Daniel Zovatto).<\/p>\n

Thomas Kretschmann as\u00a0Richard Goss<\/strong>, an aristocratic and mysterious German architect with grand plans for the future of Los Angeles: a manipulative master builder with unsettling connections to City Hall.<\/p>\n

Lorenza Izzo as\u00a0Santa Muerte<\/strong>, the Angel of Holy Death and sister of the charismatic demoness, Magda (Natalie Dormer).<\/p>\n

Michael Gladis as\u00a0Councilman Charlton Townsend<\/strong>, the ambitious head of the L.A. City Council\u2019s Transportation Committee; a man of killer instincts and ruthless political wiles.<\/p>\n

Dominic Sherwood as\u00a0Kurt<\/strong>, the chauffer and bodyguard for Richard Goss. There\u2019s more to Kurt than meets the eye: an unexpected depth and surprising background.<\/p>\n

Ethan Peck as\u00a0Herman Ackermann<\/strong>, the charismatic second-in-command at the German-American Bund. His aggressive politics, heated rhetoric, and personal magnetism inevitably create tension within the group and for the Bund\u2019s leader, Peter Craft (Rory Kinnear).<\/p>\n

The new stars join a cast made up of\u00a0Natalie Dormer (Game Of Thrones<\/strong><\/em>), Rory Kinnear (Penny Dreadful<\/strong><\/em>),\u00a0Daniel Zavotto (Don\u2019t Breathe<\/strong><\/em>), Nathan Lane (The Birdcage<\/strong><\/em>),\u00a0Jessica Garza (The Purge<\/strong><\/em>) and Johnathan Nieves (New Amsterdam<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n

City Of Angels<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is set in 1930s Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension. The series will be rooted in the conflict between characters connected to the deity Santa Muerte and others allied with the devil, and will explore a mix of the supernatural and the combustible reality of that period, creating new occult myths and moral dilemmas within a historical backdrop.\u00a0The show is worlds away from its Victorian London-set counterpart, and new characters and storylines will feature.<\/p>\n

Penny Dreadful <\/strong><\/em>creator John\u00a0Logan will produce through his Desert Wolf Productions banner, with Michael Aguilar and Neal Street Productions\u2019 Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris executive producing alongside him. James Bagley will co-executive produce.<\/p>\n
