Showtime is hosting its worldwide premiere event tonight for “Penny Dreadful“, their new tent pole show they’ve gone above and beyond to share on digital platforms (the actual show premieres on Sunday, 5/11 at 10pm). According to @SHO_Penny, “#PennyDreadful is a frightening psychological thriller that weaves together classic horror stories into a new adult drama.” The network will be live-tweeting the premiere tonight and are asking fans who want to experience the big event to tune-in on Twitter. More importantly Showtime “will also be re-posting the Pilot Sampling around 8:15PM and will be encouraging fans to watch along in real-time, as if they’re at the actual screening.” The network has also made the episode available in advance, “on YouTube, SHO.com, Showtime Anytime, and Showtime On Demand.”
