Showtime has announced that Tony and Emmy winner Nathan Lane (”The Producers”) has joined “Penny Dreadful : City of Angels”, the next chapter of the “Penny Dreadful” saga, in the role of Lewis Michener.
A veteran officer in the LAPD, wise to the ways of the world and ruthless in pursuit of his goals, Lewis becomes the partner and mentor of young Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto). The series also stars Natalie Dormer, Jessica Garza and Johnathan Nieves. Tony and Golden Globe(R) award winner and three-time Oscar(R) nominee John Logan, the creator, writer and executive producer of the Emmy nominated series “Penny Dreadful”.

“Human Discoveries”, which will premiere later in 2019, tells the story of a group of friends living at the dawn of human civilization. They’re the first to discover necessities like fire and the wheel, but together they also stumble onto humanity’s best and worst innovations, including art, alcohol, fashion, racism, small talk and — much to their confusion — monogamy.

Lamorne Morris, Jillian Bell, Paul Scheer and Lisa Kudrow also star.
