The series, described a “frightening sexual thriller,” imagines some of literature’s most terrifying figures, including Dr. Frankenstein and Dorian Gray, becoming embroiled in Victorian London. Created, written and executive produced by John Logan (“The Aviator,” “Gladiator”), the series also counts Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris among its executive producers.
Eva Green, Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton, Rory Kinnear and Reeve Carney are among the series’ stars.
