Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN Is Being Developed as a TV Series

While we continue to wait for Guillermo del Toro to make his long-awaited Frankenstein movie, Stone Village Television is partnering with international producer BlackBox Multimedia to develop a series adaptation of Mary Shelley’s legendary novel.

Scott Steindorff and Dylan Russell are producing the series, and they have hired Bradley McManus (Bodyguard of Lies). It’s said to focus on “the behaviors and obsessions of a scientist exploring the fine thread between life and death — all set against the context of a year in which dependence on scientific breakthroughs has been paramount.”

The series will be set in Europe, and Stone Village and BlackBox are hoping that it will become a successful franchise. Stone Village’s past television credits include HBO limited series Empire Falls.

I have no idea what to expect from this series, but I hope it’s good! I’d love to see this classic story get a proper series adaptation.
