THE STRANGE CASE OF THE ALCHEMIST'S DAUGHTER is a New CW Show with a Jekyll and Hyde Theme
Theodora Goss is having some of her work adapted for the small screen thanks to The CW. The channel is developing The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter which comes from Glenn Geller and AJ Marechal. Here’s a quick synopsis of the story:
“The Strange Case Of the Alchemist Daughter is set in Victorian London where two radically different young women – one the daughter of Dr. Jekyll; the other, Mr. Hyde – discover they’re half-sisters when a series of gruesome murders appear connected to their deceased father. They unite with other unsung but remarkable daughters of famous literary figures to rise above societal norms and unearth the mystery of their origins.”
For some reason this reminds me a bit of Once Upon a Time, but totally sounds like something The CW would make.
The series will be executive produced by Geller, Jeremy Bell, Eddie Gamarra, D.J. Goldberg, and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein.
Is this a series you’re interested in? Who should star as the daughter of Jekyll and the daughter of Hyde?
