Jekyll is a British television drama serial shown on BBC One. Steven Moffat wrote all six episodes. Douglas Mackinnon and Matt Lipsey directed three episodes each.
It was made by Hartswood Films and Stagescreen Productions. The series also got funding from BBC America.
The series is a sequel to the novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and not an adaptation of it. The Robert Louis Stevenson tale is used as a backstory within the series.
It stars James Nesbitt as Tom Jackman, a modern-day descendant of Dr. Jekyll. He has recently begun transforming into a version of Mr. Hyde (also played by Nesbitt). Jackman is aided by psychiatric nurse Katherine Reimer, played by Michelle Ryan. Gina Bellman appears as Claire, Tom's wife.
Filming took place around southern England in late 2006. The series was first shown on BBC One in June and July 2007.
