David and Georgia Tennant to Star in Jekyll And Hyde-Inspired Thriller 'Hide'
Former Doctor Who star David Tennant is set to headline the new Peacock drama Hide opposite his real life spouse Georgia Tennant. The pair will also executive produce the series, which is described as a thriller that's loosely based on the classic story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Deadline describes the series as a "conspiracy thriller," in which a disgraced journalist sees something he shouldn't have, stumbling upon a story that could ressurect his career - or possibly end his life. The sudden target of unknown enemies who will stop at nothing to make sure he doesn't report what he's found, he ends up on the run and is forced to watch as bad things begin to happen to those around him. Along the way, he suffers an accident that changes everything - and reveals that that there are indeed very real monsters in the world. (Presumably, this is where the Jekyll and Hyde stuff comes in.)
The series is being directed and executive produced by Julie Anne Robinson, who previously worked with Tennant on the musical drama Blackpool. Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters are serving as showrunners.
