Everyone knows the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the title characters from Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But how many are familiar with the musical version of this classic gothic horror tale?

Now, audiences will get to know the characters in a whole new way thanks to a planned big-screen adaptation of the 1997 Jekyll & Hyde Broadway musical.

ITV Studios has announced the cast for Jekyll & Hyde, their upcoming 10-part action-adventure drama based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous tale, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Tom Bateman (Da Vinci’s Demons, The Tunnel) stars in the lead role of Robert Jekyll, grandson to the classic literary doctor with the dual personality. Richard E. Grant (Downton Abbey, Doctor Who) plays Sir Roger Bulstrode, the head of the secret government department M10 known as “The Invisible Men,” while Natalie Gumede (Coronation Street, Death In Paradise) is Bella, who is part of a love triangle with Robert.

The series was conceived by author Charlie Higson, who will also write and executive produce, and will be directed Colin Teague.
