The CW to Develop Series Based on Theodora Goss' Book STRANGE CASE OF THE ALCHEMIST'S DAUGHTER

Theodora Goss's book, "The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter," is being developed into a drama series by The CW, according to Variety.

The series is set in Victorian London and follows two radically different young women-one the daughter of Dr. Jekyll; the other, Mr. Hyde. They discover they're half-sisters when a series of gruesome murders appear connected to their deceased father. They unite with other UNSUNG but remarkable daughters of famous literary figures to rise.

The television adaptation will be written by AJ Marechal. Glenn Geller will executive produce under his Gellervision banner, along with Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, D.J. Goldberg, and Gotham Group's Eddie Gamarra. CBS Television Studios will produce.

Goss is the World Fantasy Award-winning author of many publications, including the short story collection "In the Forest of Forgetting." She has been a finalist for the Nebula, Locus, Crawford, Seiun, and Mythopoeic Awards, as well as on the Tiptree Award Honor List, and her work has been translated into eleven languages. She teaches literature and writing at Boston University and in the Stonecoast MFA Program.
