"That's what's good about the character is that he's not – and what I've liked about working in TV which I didn't expect to like – was that John [Logan] has not revealed totally, entirely, even to me, Ethan's whole backstory. I don't even think he's quite sure exactly what Ethan's full backstory is. And we're kind of seeing that sort of come to fruition the more the scenes play out," the actor said.

"And that's kind of cool. It's organic the way that you can kind of watch the process determine the actual character in the long run. But the biggest thing for me in dealing with Ethan from the get go was to create a box big enough to hold a lot of different character attributes, so he could be many, many different things," Hartnett continued.

"John and I started to talk about whether or not Ethan could be recovering from some sort of trauma that may have occurred between his father and his mother. There's a whole myriad of things that could have occurred in Ethan's past. And as we were discovering more and more about him," he revealed.

Followers of the show may remember Ethan getting chased by some of his father's people. Season 2, according to him, is expected to unravel that issue.

"This season, the wolf's out of the bag, so we can start to focus on who's actually hunting him down and what's going after him. So there's a lot more pressure put on Ethan," Hartnett added.

"Penny Dreadful" Season 2 airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on Showtime.
