A couple of Fox’s new shows that we’ve had our eyes on over the last few weeks are The Frankenstein Code and Lucifer, both of which have new trailers that look absolutely nothing like they sound. The Frankenstein Code is about as far away from a Frankenstein story as you can get, while Lucifer just looks… different. Check them out below.
In The Frankenstein Code:
Seventy-five-year-old JIMMY PRITCHARD is a shell of his former self. A drinker, a womanizer and a father who always put work before family, Pritchard was forced to resign as L.A. County Sheriff for corrupt conduct more than a decade ago. Now, some 15 unkind years later, he is killed when he stumbles upon a robbery at the home of FBI Agent DUVAL PRITCHARD, one of his three children. But death is surprisingly short for Jimmy, who is brought back to life by billionaire tech-genius twins MARY GOODWIN and her brother, OTTO, founders of the social networking empire, Lookinglass.
Resurrected as a younger version of himself, with physical abilities of which he never dreamed, a re-animated Pritchard is given a second chance at life. What will he do with it? Will he seek vengeance against those who killed him? Will he try to repair the damage he did to his family? Will he embrace a new sense of purpose or fall prey to old temptations?
It stars Philip Baker Hall, Tim DeKay, Dilshad Vadsaria, Adhir Kalyan and Rob Kazinsky.
As for Lucifer, well this one revolves around:
Lucifer, who, bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the gorgeous, shimmering insanity of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals.
The show stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Lesley-Ann Brandt and Nicholas Gonzalez. Both Lucifer and The Frankenstein Code will premiere on Fox sometime in 2016.
