A new original series based on Shelley’s 1818 horror classic Frankenstein is in the early stages of development at Sky Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The series–created by director Philipp Stolzl (Erased)–is currently being developed with producers Neue Schonhauser Film (Back on Track).
