Diane Reynald, Head of Acquisitions TV Programming, CANAL , comments: We are very excited to be adding The Frankenstein Chronicles to our line-up of foreign drama. This new series will appeal to our subscribers always keen to discover original programs.
Cathy Payne, Chief Executive of Endemol Shine International said, The Frankenstein Chronicles is a highly anticipated series and we are thrilled that CANAL has come on board as our broadcast partners in France. With a stellar cast and outstanding creatives we are sure that the series is going to be a big hit with audiences around the world .
London, 1827. After a successful operation by the Thames River Police to apprehend a gang of opium smugglers, a child's corpse is discovered. Inspector John Marlott (Sean Bean) is horrified to discover that it's not actually a child, but a grotesque assembly of human body parts.
In Season One, we follow Marlott on the hunt for the killer behind this abomination, taking him into the dark corners of Georgian London, an underworld of prostitution, drug smuggling, bodysnatching, murder for profit and other vices.
As Marlott investigates, it brings him up against the medical establishment and powerful political forces wrestling with the march of scientific progress. One thing is certain - a demonic power is at work in the city, apparently attempting to reanimate the dead in a curious parody of the celebrated novel FRANKENSTEIN.
Unable to shake the memory of what happened on the banks of the Thames but reluctant to admit the impossible, Marlott brings his enquiry to a dramatic conclusion. But in his moment of triumph, another horror is revealed which will change Marlotts life forever.
The Frankenstein Chronicles has been created by Emmy nominated director and writer Benjamin Ross (The Young Poisoner's Handbook, Torte Bluma - both as director) and writer Barry Langford (Torte Bluma).
The Frankenstein Chronicles is a Rainmark Films production in association with Far Moor (Executive Producers Justin Thomson-Glover and Patrick Irwin) and Agraffe Limited with funding from Northern Ireland Screen.
