‘Penny Dreadful: City of Angels’ and More Coming to Showtime Streaming in April 2020
With coronavirus lockdowns expected to last through the end of April — and possibly beyond — we’re all looking for a few good TV shows and films to keep us entertained. Fortunately, Showtime is delivering with a brand-new spinoff of Penny Dreadful, new episodes of Black Monday, the series finale of Homeland, and a bunch of new movies. Here’s what to stream on Showtime in April 2020.
‘Penny Dreadful: City of Angels’ premieres April 26
Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer returns to the small screen in the new series Penny Dreadful: City of Angels. The spinoff of Penny Dreadful is set in 1938 Los Angeles and Dormer plays a supernatural demon named Magda. Daniel Zovatto plays Detective Tiago Vega and Nathan Lane is his partner Lewis Michener. Together, they investigate a grisly murder that sees them get caught up in an epic story that ties in with L.A.’s colorful history. It premieres Sunday, April 26 at 10/9c.
New episodes of ‘Black Monday,’ ‘Vice,’ and the end of ‘Homeland’
Also coming to Showtime this month are new episodes of the dark comedy series Black Monday, which chronicles the 1987 stock market crash (airing Sundays at 10/9c), and the series finale of Homeland, which airs April 26 at 9/8c.
You can also tune in to watch new episodes of the docuseries Vice on Sundays at 8/7c. This season includes a look at the growing human rights crisis in India and an investigation of the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. Plus, the new Showtime documentary The Longest War, about America’s war in Afghanistan, premieres Sunday, April 19 at 10/9c.
