ABC has picked up a potential new series called “Hyde.”
Yes, it’s a spin on the classic “Jekyll and Hyde” and it follows a man named Grant Hyde who, after experimenting with a drug to improve his vision, turns into something else after he falls asleep.
There have been scores of Jekyll & Hyde related theater, film and TV projects, all based on the 1886 novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Sheldon Turner is writing with Jennifer Klein. Turner penned Up in the Air, but his horror credits include The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and a bit of rewriting on The Amityville Horror.
Classic monsters are seeing a resurgence on the small screen. NBC just ordered up a modern version of Frankenstein.
