Uta Briesewitz to Direct and Saidah Arrika Ekulona to Co-Star in FRANKENSTEIN

A few weeks ago, we learned that CBS is working on a new Frankenstein show that puts Frankenstein’s monster as a detective in modern times. I think this is an odd angle to go with personally, but CBS now has a director for the pilot in Uta Briesewitz. Also, Saidah Arrika Ekulona will be Captain Mills, who is described as:

“Ekulona plays Capt. Mills, who is in charge at a crime scene and everywhere she goes. Intelligent, decisive, tough but not without compassion or humor, Mills is Escher’s boss at the SFPD. Like his other friends and family, she’s stunned when he returns six months after he was presumed dead in an attack at his home.”

Jason Tracey wrote and executive produced the series and Briesewitz is also serving as an executive producer in addition to directing. Are you interested in this loose take on Frankenstein?
