The popular show has been filmed in Dublin since the first series in 2013, setting up at nearby Ardmore Studios in Bray as well as shooting exterior scenes in the city.

The critically acclaimed Showtime programme is centered around the 'penny dreadfuls' - a form of cheap fiction publication of the 19th century which was often lurid in content.

The series borrows from an array of literature to provide characters, including Oscar Wilde's creation Dorian Gray and Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein. 

Alongside Billie and Reeve, the show features an all-star cast including Hollywood hunk Josh Hartnett and French actress Eva Green.
