"The Purge" alumna Jessica Garza and Johnathan Nieves (New Amsterdam) are set as series regulars opposite Daniel Zovatto in Showtime’s "Penny Dreadful: City of Angels", a followup to "Penny Dreadful" from the original series’ creator, writer and executive producer John Logan.

Nieves will play Mateo Vega, Tiago’s volatile younger brother. While essentially goodhearted, he lacks the clear strength and ambition of Tiago, so he’s vulnerable to both his own capricious emotions and various influences around him.

Garza will portray Josefina, the youngest of the Vega family. She plays the part of the quiet and overlooked sister, but possesses a powerful spirit waiting to be unleashed.
