Second Chance (formerly The Frankenstein Code), has already forfeited its first chance after changing its name twice. But if you give this new teaser a look, you might just find something there to enjoy. A Frankensteinian tale of an old man given new life in a younger body, it’s a fairly unique look at the Mary Shelley mythos. Maybe, just maybe, it will have something interesting to offer to the dead horse-beating myriad of Frankenstein adaptations. Check out the video below!
Second Chance centers on Jimmy Pritchard, a disgraced, 75-year-old ex-sheriff, whose life ends at the hands of corrupt cops. He is brought back to life and given a second chance by a pair of young tech scientists as a 35-year-old (Rob Kazinsky) with unpredictable near-superhuman abilities. The name of the company of the two scientists, twins Otto (Adhir Kalyan) and Mary (Dilshad Vadsaria), is Lookinglass.
Second Chance, also starring Tim DeKay and Ciara Bravo, is executive produced by Rand Ravich, Howard Gordon and Michael Cuesta, who directed the pilot. The show will come to life on Fox on January 13th, 2016.
