Hide AdSet in Regency London in 1827, 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 series will be produced by Rainmark Films, whose director Frank Doelger is one of the Game of Thrones showrunners.

The series has been commissioned for ITV and director of drama Steve November describes it as “an epic re-working of one of literature and cinema’s most iconic stories”.
