Amidst a batch of new pilots, CBS just ordered up a new take on Mary Shelley’s legendary story "Frankenstein," reports Deadline.
From writer Jason Tracey, "Elementary" creator Rob Doherty and CBS TV Studios, “Frankenstein” centers on a San Francisco homicide detective who’s mysteriously brought back to life after being killed in the line of duty.
“As he resumes his old life and he and his wife realize he isn’t the same person he used to be, they zero in on the strange man behind his resurrection – Dr. Victor Frankenstein.”
Rob Doherty and Jason Tracey both executive produce.
