We may be entering a Golden Age of TV Horror. We’ve already told you about the development of Frankenstein and The Munsters for NBC and of course we will soon be freaking out to American Horror Story on FX. Now comes news that ABC is joining the potential creepfest by picking up a new drama based on the Jekyll and Hyde story.

The original novella, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 1886 and has since been adapted in countless ways (personal favorites are the Spencer Tracy and the Bugs Bunny treatments).

THR has now reported that the new version will be called simply Hyde and will be written by Up in the Air co-writer Sheldon Turner:

Hyde will revolve around Grant Hyde, a doctor with an eye condition who experiences bizarre side effects after attempting an experimental treatment in a bid to improve his vision. When Grant goes to sleep, he becomes Hyde, a fearless individual who is the opposite of his anti-confrontational personality. Turner will write and executive produce the project with Jennifer Klein (Armageddon) through their newly launched shingle Vendetta.

YES PLEASE. And please make it scary. We’ll keep you posted!
