February 23rd, 9:23am February 26th, 7:20pm Rahul JadhavFounder at Wiki of Thrones and a full-time Game of Thrones fan who does other work when he has finished reading and writing about Game of Thrones and also dreams about playing a role in the show.

Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer, the actress who played Margery Tyrell in the show for the last six years has recently been chosen to star in a leading role in a successor to Penny Dreadful. The show will be created by John Logan and is to be named Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.

While the story to City of Angels will have no link to that of Penny Dreadful and will start off with a fresh cast of new characters, the story is still set to be a successor of sorts to the original story. It is set to start in 1938 Los Angeles amidst a lot of socio-political tensions tearing the country apart. Detective Tiago Vega, played by Daniel Zovatto, gets assigned to investigate a gruesome murder in the middle of the city which leads him to explore the vast cultural heritage of the city fo Los Angeles including the Mexican-American heritage, Espionage attempts of the Third Reich and much more. True to its predecessor, Detective Tiago and his family get caught up in the supernatural powers looking to tear them apart.

Dormer is set to play the role of Magda in the series, a shapeshifter who can change her appearance to resemble anyone in the show. Other significant celebrities alongside Dormer include Jessica Garza and Johnathan Nieves.

While the cast of the show has more or less been decided upon, shooting and production are set to begin this year. However, there is neither a tentative nor a presumable date for the premiere of the show. In contrast, the eighth season of Game of Thrones already has a set premiere date and it is on the 14th of April, 2019. Actors of the series now look for roles elsewhere as the series comes to an end and fans eagerly wait to witness the end of an epic saga.
