David and Georgia Tennant are set to star together in a new series in preparation for the Peacock streaming network, Hide.

According to Deadline the show comes from Agent Carter’s Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters (Agent Carter) and will be directed/executive produced by Julie Anne Robinson.

The show follows disgraced journalist (David Tennant) who stumbles upon a story that could resurrect his career. But he quickly learns he’s seen something he shouldn’t have, and is now the target of unknown adversaries who will do anything to silence him. On the run as people around him go missing or die, a serious accident has an extraordinary side effect, and he realizes there are monsters in the world – and he may be one of them.

“I am ecstatic to have this opportunity to work with such creative and talented individuals,” Robinson said. “The Jekyll and Hyde story is a classic, and it is so thrilling to be bringing a new and exciting iteration to the screen with such brilliant collaborators.”

“One of my earliest jobs was playing ‘first policeman’ in a BBC radio adaptation of ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’,” David Tennant said. “I read the book many years ago and I’ve been fascinated with this character for as long as I can remember. This story has followed me around for years, tapping on my shoulder slightly impatiently. When Julie Anne approached me to talk about reimagining it for the 21st century, alongside her, the magnificent Fazekas and Butters and with the ever-brilliant Georgia Tennant, I didn’t let her finish the sentence. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be playing this character, telling this story and working with these people.”

Georgia Tennant’s new box set of audio adventures featuring her character Jenny is due out soon from Big Finish.
