Sci-fi drama FRANKENSTEIN is written and executive produced by Rand Ravich (Crisis, Life) and Howard Gordon (Homeland, Tyrant). Inspired by Mary Shelley's classic story, FRANKENSTEIN follows "Adam Tremble, a morally corrupt FBI agent who is given a second chance at life when he is brought back from the dead. Now younger and stronger, Tremble will have to choose between his old temptations and his new sense of purpose -- dealing with threats beyond the FBI's capabilities. All the while navigating the complicated relationship with his 'creators': an antisocial Internet billionaire and his bio-engineer twin sister."
Original British star Idris Elba is producing the U.S. remake of LUTHER, which centers on "John Luther, a near-genius murder detective whose brilliant mind can't always save him from the dangerous violence of his passions."
Todd Harthan (Psych) writes and produces ROSEWOOD, which follows "the brilliant Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, Jr., the top private pathologist in all of Miami. As the owner of one of the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art independent labs in the country, he finds the secrets in bodies that others usually miss. Despite being constantly surrounded by death Rosewood is obsessed with life and savors every moment."
48 HOURS 'TIL MONDAY, from Charlie Grandy (The Mindy Project), tells the story of "one husband's desperate struggle to not let every weekend go completely to hell."
