The premise
Inspired by the original novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, Jekyll and Hyde is set in 1930s London and follows Robert Jekyll, the grandson of Henry Jekyll, on his quest to discover his real identity, his true family history and the nature of his ‘curse’ – which his foster father, Dr Vishal Najaran, is controlling with medication. His journey takes him into a dark and unforgiving place, as his alter ego seems capable of anything. At the same time there are shadowy forces trying to find Jekyll and the source of his powers.
Horror Vault's take
Set in the fog-laden streets of 1930s London, this reimagining of Stevenson's classic tale follows Robert Jekyll — grandson of the infamous Henry Jekyll — as he unravels the truth behind his family's dark legacy. Kept in the dark by a foster father who has long suppressed his volatile alter ego through medication, Robert's search for answers pulls him into a world of conspiracy and shadow. His other self proves increasingly difficult to contain, and dangerous forces lurking in the background have plans of their own for him and his extraordinary abilities. Equal parts period mystery and action-driven thriller, the series expands the original mythology into fresh, ambitious territory.
