As scheming Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones, Natalie Dormer has plenty of experience of bloodthirsty battles and supernatural forces.

This week, the actor finds herself in another tangled web of deceit and destruction when she plays a shape-shifting demon unleashing chaos in Sky Atlantic drama Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.

A CITY ON THE EDGE

The new 10-part series is a spin-off from Penny Dreadful, the horror drama featuring a host of famous literary creations – including Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster and Dr Jekyll – which ran for three seasons, ending in 2016.
