The Frankenstein Code is coming to Fox! The new hour-long horror drama series is from writer and executive producers Rand Ravich and Howard Gordon. Rob Kazinsky, who appears in this weekend's comedy Hot Pursuit, will take on the lead role.

The Frankenstein Code follows Jimmy Pritchard, described as a morally corrupt retired cop given a second chance at life after being brought back from the dead. Pritchard is now younger, and stronger. But he will have to choose between old temptations and his new sense of purpose. Will he do what's right? Or fall back into his old way?

Adhir Kalyan co-stars in the series as Otto Goodwin, just one of the men who takes responsibility for Pritchard's new undead existence. Hugh Fitzpatrick is co-executive producer, with Michael Cuesta also serving as executive producer. He will direct the pilot. Also appearing in the series are Dilshad Vadsaria as Mary, Tim DeKay as Duval Pritchard and Ciara Bravo as Gracie Pritchard.
