ITV has released a brief trailer for Jekyll and Hyde.

Created by The Fast Show writer Charlie Higson and inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the ten-part drama will feature “spooky creatures, ghouls, zombies, werewolves and vampires” in 1930s London.

The 10-second clip reveals that the series will begin on ITV this autumn.

Da Vinci’s Demons star Tom Bateman will play “young, attractive, troubled hero” Robert Jekyll, the grandson of the original doctor, alongside Richard E Grant (Downton Abbey) as Sir Roger Bulstrode, who heads the secret government department M10 known as ‘The Invisible Men’, and Natalie Gumede (Doctor Who) as Bella, who’ll be involved in a love triangle with Robert.

Jekyll and Hyde began filming in Sri Lanka and London earlier this year.
